J. Paul Getty Quotes

In My Own Opinion, The Average American's Cultural Shortcomings Can Be Likened To Those Of The Educated Barbarians Of Ancient Rome. These Were Barbarians Who Learned To Speak--and Often To Read And Write--Latin. They Acquired Roman Habits Of Dress And Deportment. Many Of Them Handily Mastered Roman Commercial, Engineering And Military Techniques--but They Remained Barbarians Nonetheless. They Failed To Develop Any Understanding, Appreciation Or Love For The Art And Culture Of The Great Civilization Around Them.
