He wears two sets of clothes and lives in between two cultures. He loves his new country, but a part of him still longs for his old one. — Gene Luen Yang
The immigration must be limited, that is, first and foremost the foreign cultural one. — Carl I. Hagen
Capital burns off the nuance in a culture. Foreign investment, global markets, corporate acquisitions, the flow of information through transnational media, the attenuating influence of money that's electronic and sex that's cyberspaced, untouched money and computer-safe sex, the convergence of consumer desire--not that people want the same things, necessarily, but that they want the same range of choices. — Don Delillo
