Some of the substance of English words, I just don't understand at all because the culture's so strange to me.

I recommend the same therapies for all humans with HIV. There is no reason to believe that physiologic responses to therapy will vary across lines of class, culture, race or nationality.

I ascribe a basic importance to the phenomenon of language. To speak means to be in a position to use a certain syntax, to grasp the morphology of this or that language, but it means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.

The moment you give up your principles, and your values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. Period.

I have this massive love for the whole culture of pop music. It's my fascination, my ongoing passion.

I plead for conservation of human culture, which is much more fragile than nature herself. We needn't destroy other cultures with the force of our own.

But foremost, I do not subscribe to the view that Islamic culture and democracy cannot be reconciled.

According to this view, democracy is a product of western culture, and it cannot be applied to the Middle East which has a different cultural, religious, sociological and historical background.

Similarly, it is argued that the culture of Islam is incompatible with democracy. Basically, this conventional perspective of the Middle East thus contends that democracy in that region is neither possible nor even desirable.
