To help organize cultural work

Dear Colleagues!

2014 has begun, proclaimed the Year of Culture in Russia. We, like no one else, understand how important such a step is, designed to attract public attention to the development and preservation of Russian culture. Culture covers such significant aspects of life as language, history, education, science, religion, art, literature, music - everything that is designed to preserve and ensure the spiritual development of the people.

We, cultural workers, must make the most of this opportunity to express ourselves and show our activities as an important component in the overall contribution to the development of Russian culture.

We offer you a selection of quotes, aphorisms, statements about culture, which may be useful when designing exhibitions, library materials, scripts, manuals, etc.)

If we think about Culture, this already means that we think about Beauty, and about the Book as a beautiful creation.

N.K. Roerich

A common culture is what allows a person to feel with all his soul solidarity with others in time and space - both with people of his own generation, and with past generations and with future generations.

Langevin

Culture is memory. Therefore, it is connected with history and always implies continuity of moral, intellectual, spiritual human life, society and humanity.

Yu. M. Lotman

N. A. Berdyaev.

There is only one way to become a cultured person - reading. A cultured person is a person focused on high moral values, striving to feed the soul with the sublime and beautiful.

Cultural monuments are generators of spiritual energy invested in them by the people who created them, as well as by those people who have worshiped them for many centuries. By destroying cultural monuments, we destroy the most valuable thing - the spiritual energy of the people.

Fedor Abramov.

Modern Russian culture is, first of all, our speech, our holidays, our schools and universities, our attitude towards our parents, towards our family, towards our Fatherland, towards other peoples and countries. Academician D.S. Likhachev wrote: “If you love your mother, you will understand others who love their parents, and this trait will not only be familiar to you, but also pleasant. If you love your people, you will understand other peoples who love their nature, their art, their past.”

Literature rose over Russia like a huge protective dome - it became a shield of its unity, a moral shield.

D. S. Likhachev

Someday, when Russian readers become more interested in their past, the greatness of the literary feat of Russian literature will become completely clear to them and the ignorant denunciation of Rus' will be replaced by an informed respect for its moral and aesthetic values.

D. S. Likhachev

Human culture as a whole not only has memory, but it is memory par excellence. The culture of humanity is the active memory of humanity, actively introduced into modernity.

D. S. Likhachev

Culture unites all aspects of human personality. You cannot be cultured in one area and remain ignorant in another. Respect for different aspects of culture, for its different forms - this is a true trait cultured person.

D.S. Likhachev

Memory is the basis of conscience and morality, memory is the basis of culture, “accumulated” culture, memory is one of the foundations of poetry - the aesthetic understanding of cultural values. Preserving memory, preserving memory is our moral duty to ourselves and to our descendants. Memory is our wealth.

D.S. Likhachev

“Culture represents the main meaning and main value existence as individual peoples both small ethnic groups and states. Outside of culture, their independent existence becomes meaningless.” D. S. Likhachev "Declaration of the Rights of Culture".

D. S. Likhachev

“Culture is what largely justifies the existence of a people and a nation before God.
Today there is a lot of talk about the unity of various “spaces” and “fields”. Dozens of newspaper and magazine articles, television and radio programs discuss issues related to the unity of economic, political, information and other spaces. I am primarily interested in the problem of cultural space. By space I mean in this case not just a certain geographical territory, but first of all an environmental space, which has not only length, but also depth.”

D. S. Likhachev

“In our country we still do not have a concept of culture and cultural development. Most people (including “statesmen”) understand by culture a very limited range of phenomena: theater, museums, pop music, literature, sometimes not even including science, technology, education in the concept of culture... This is what often happens so that the phenomena that we classify as “culture” are considered in isolation from each other: the theater has its own problems, writers’ organizations have their own, philharmonic societies and museums have their own, etc.”

D. S. Likhachev

“Meanwhile, culture is a huge holistic phenomenon that makes people inhabiting a certain space from just a population into a people, a nation. The concept of culture should and always has included religion, science, education, moral and moral norms of behavior of people and the state.”

D. S. Likhachev

“I imagine the 21st century as a century of humanitarian culture, a kind and nurturing culture that lays down the freedom to choose a profession and use creative forces. Education subordinated to the tasks of upbringing, diversity of secondary and higher schools, the revival of self-esteem, which does not allow talents to go into crime, the revival of a person’s reputation as something higher, which everyone should cherish, the revival of conscience and the concept of honor - this is in general outline what we need in the 21st century. Not only Russians, of course, but especially Russians, because this is what we largely lost in our ill-fated 20th century.”

D. S. Likhachev

G. S. Altshuller, I. M. Vertkin

If a person is stuffed with scraps of a culture that he does not understand, then he becomes a wonderful fanatic and a weapon in the wrong hands.

If I believe in anything, it’s only in culture. Culture, if you think about it, is not based on curiosity at all, but on the love of perfection; culture is the knowledge of perfection. People of culture are the true apostles of equality.

Arnold M.

Culture is the rope that you can throw to a drowning man and with which you can strangle your neighbor. The development of culture is as much for the benefit of good as it is for the benefit of evil. As meekness grows, cruelty also grows, altruism grows, but selfishness also grows. It does not happen that as good increases, evil decreases; rather, as in the development of electricity: every appearance of positive electricity goes in parallel with the appearance of negative electricity. Therefore, the struggle between good and evil does not fade away, but intensifies; it cannot end and, apparently, cannot not end.

Florensky P. A.

Those who believe that it boils down to fixed formulas have a poor idea of culture. The last student in the department of exact sciences knows much more about the laws of nature than Pascal knew. But is a student capable of thinking like him?

Saint-Exupery A.

And let the work until you sweat,

After all, holidays are not celebrated in silence.

Culture is not a job at all

Culture is a state of mind.

Don't talk to me about your spirituality, buddy. I'm not that interested... Please don't talk to me about "pure awareness" or "living in the absolute."
I want to see how you feel about your partner. To your children, parents, to your precious body.
Please don't lecture me about the illusion of a separate self or how you achieved permanent bliss in just 7 days. I want to feel the genuine warmth emanating from your heart. I want to hear how good of a listener you are. Accept information that does not correspond to your personal philosophy. I want to see how you deal with people who disagree with you.
Don't tell me that you are awakened and free of ego. I want to know you beyond words. I want to know how you feel when bad things happen to you. If you can fully immerse yourself in the pain and not pretend to be invulnerable. If you feel your anger, but do not become violent. If you can calmly allow yourself to experience your grief without becoming a slave to it. If you can feel your shame and not shame others. If you can screw up and admit it. If you can say "I'm sorry" and really mean it. If you can be fully human in your glorious divinity.
Don't talk to me about your spirituality, buddy. It's not that interesting to me. I just want to meet YOU. To know your precious heart. To understand a beautiful person fighting for the light.
Before the words “about a spiritual person.” Until all the skillful words.

Courage is courage inspired by spirituality. The tenacity with which the Bolsheviks defended themselves in their pillboxes in Sevastopol is akin to some kind of animal instinct, and it would be a deep mistake to consider it the result of Bolshevik convictions or upbringing. Russians have always been like this and, most likely, will always remain like this.

A man after fifty is a philosopher!
Thoughtful, thorough, smart.
He is concerned about various issues,
When he comes by chance to visit.

Where did the house come from, how much did you get the car,
How long did it take to grab the boots?
Whose phone number, who painted the picture
From fucks of course, but brains!

He'll talk about work and lovers,
How nerves were worn out and in general-
It's high time to think about spirituality!
And living in the forest is like Lenin in a hut!
You will have to listen to his nonsense for a long time,

And so as not to go crazy from melancholy
Say it straight - Enough!
I want sex!
And just like in the song, he’ll take a taxi!

Why is God considered the explanation for anything? This is not an explanation, but a failure of an attempt to explain, a shrug, a schoolboy “I don’t know”, wrapped in the veil of spirituality and ritual. Attributing something to the work of God usually means that the speaker has no idea what is happening and therefore attributes authorship to an unattainable and incomprehensible celestial wizard. Ask where this guy came from, and I bet you'll hear vague pseudo-philosophical claims that he's always been there, or that he lives outside the boundaries of nature. This, of course, cannot be called an explanation.

Chess leads to spirituality because it makes us understand that there is a struggle between two forces - white and black, which symbolize good and evil, positive and negative. They make it clear that each of us has our own role, but different abilities: pawn, queen or queen, but depending on our location, all of us, even simple pawns, can checkmate.

What is spirituality? This is a gas that priests emit from various bearded holes and the one who inhaled this gas goes to destroy exhibitions, beat poor girls on the head with a banner pole, goes to mutilate the works of Pushkin, goes to destroy a kindergarten in order to make there his own commercial point for trading grace, that’s what This is spirituality my brothers.

He said "I love you" on the platform
Clicking imaginary wings behind his back.
[Give away his eternities to strangers,
But he left a minute to stay with me.]
Rails, seeds, smoke, husks of accents,
A cup holder, a government-issued sheet...
Let a minute be a special treasure,
But you can’t exchange a minute for eternity!
He told me: “It’s never too late to love. Consumption is darkness, but spirituality is light.
In this moment of ours there is open space.
Just feel and believe... and love in return. Reject the philistine - think more broadly! -
It’s not from troubles, but from the wings that my back hurts.
For a minute we became big with you -
That means there will be something to remember forever!”
He, of course, is sublime - I am simple.
My mission is to listen and indulge.
He said, “I love you,” and melted.
Take care of him, Lord,
asshole!

"Mysticism is associated with spirituality, and not with sincerity and involves penetration spirituality into soulfulness. Mysticism is awakening spiritual person who sees reality better and more sharply than a natural or spiritual person. Mysticism is the overcoming of creatureliness."

We know the world's geniuses, without whom Russian music would be deprived, or something. But, having absorbed this world culture, we managed to say our own word, which entered the world not as a beggar, not as a sideways entry, but in order to saturate it with the colossal power of expression, intelligence, talent and that truth, that spirituality, which the West is largely deprived of. Russia always seems to shake this rational, ordered world of the West and makes us remember that mercantilism, materialism is transitory. But there are imperishable values. These include the highest manifestations of the human spirit, expressed in art, in culture, in our literature.

Cinema, first of all, plays with the human skin of things, the epidermis of reality; it elevates matter and shows us it in deep spirituality, in her relationship with the spirit that gave birth to her.

Since the great meaning of our religion is the unity of the spiritual and the human, how strange it is to see some spiritual treatises that are completely devoid of love for humanity.

Printing is the most common way for individuals to reveal their spiritual being. It is guided by respect not for individuals, but only for reason.

Supreme calm still remains the ideal of great art. The forms and transitory forms of life are but stages towards this ideal, which the religion of Christ illuminates with its divine light.

Human love lives on uncontrollable and uncontrollable dark desires; spiritual love lives in the pure light of service prescribed by truth (“Life in Christian Fellowship,” Chapter 1)

Philosophy, considered in itself, has no value; there can be nothing worthy in philosophy except what is required of it for divine wisdom. And everything else is erroneous and empty.

Accommodation, tolerance, humanity - these basic virtues of any moral system are completely incompatible with religious prejudices.

But the criterion of truth is not in the mind, not in the intellect, but in the holistic spirit. The heart and conscience remain the supreme organs for evaluation and for knowing the meaning of things.

Philosophy can exist only if philosophical intuition is recognized. And every significant and genuine philosopher has his own original intuition. Neither the dogmas of religion nor the truths of science can replace this intuition.

In other words, in all areas modern life, if only - systematically, historically or philosophically - we enter into the essence of the matter, we come across spiritual structures dating back to antiquity or Christianity.

Creativity is an activity that reveals spiritual world personality, it is a kind of magnet that attracts a person to a person.

Nature is more aristocratic than man. The differences in rank and status in European societies, as well as the differences in caste in India, are insignificant in comparison with the differences in the mental and moral qualities of people, which nature itself prescribes.

The reality of the spirit is not objective, not material, but a different reality, and an incommensurably greater reality, a more primary reality. …Spirit is a different, higher quality of existence than mental and physical existence.

The salvation of mankind lies in the heart of man, in man's capacity for self-knowledge, in human meekness and in human responsibility.

The unity of people with people, based on the real differences between people, the concept of the human race, transferred from the sky of abstraction to the real earth - what is this if not a concept society!

There are two ways in modern art: denial and continuation of traditions. Creation is the way to continue. It is important to realize that the continuation of tradition does not deprive the artist of freedom of expression.

Quotes about morality and ethics

Albert Einstein said that “morality is the basis of all human values.” What are the values in modern world, I think it’s clear to everyone. But they are not the only ones who have changed. Thinking, behavior and our way of life are also examples of this. We have begun to forget about morality and ethics and this is very worrying. What will the future generation be like, what can it learn? There are many questions, and finding the answer is becoming increasingly difficult.

- Nature has given man a weapon - intellectual moral strength, but he can use this weapon in the opposite direction, therefore a person without moral principles turns out to be the most wicked and savage creature, base in his sexual and taste instincts. Aristotle

- Morality is the science of the relationships that exist between people and the duties arising from these relationships. P. Holbach

- He who moves forward in knowledge, but lags behind in morality, goes back more than forward. Aristotle

- Morality must lie in character. I. Kant

- What is morality? What should morality consist of? In firm, deep conviction, in fiery, unshakable faith in the dignity of man, in his high purpose. This conviction, this faith is the source of all human virtues, all actions. V.G. Belinsky

- There is no other morality except that which is based on the principles of reason and follows from man’s natural inclination to goodness. P. Bayle

- Morals deteriorate more easily than they are corrected. L. Vauvenargues

- People need human morality based on human nature, experience, and reason. V. Helvetius

- The best people are known by higher moral development and higher moral influence. F.M.Dostoevsky

- Morality is not a list of actions and not a collection of rules that can be used like apothecary or culinary recipes. D. Dewey

- Morality serves to human society rise higher. V.I.Lenin

- Morality is a teaching not about how we should consider ourselves happy, but about how we should become worthy of happiness. I. Kant

- Moral fortitude is even more important in success than in adversity. F. La Rochefoucauld

- The corruption of morals is disastrous for republics and beneficial for absolute monarchies and despotic power. D.Leopardi

- Morality is undoubtedly the most important thing in life; she is perhaps the very will to live. T. Mann

- Our whole dignity is that we are able to think. Let us try to think correctly: this is the basis of morality. B. Pascal

- The range of moral responsibilities is much wider than what the laws prescribe. Seneca the Younger

- The most important capital of the nation is the moral qualities of the people N.G. Chernyshevsky

And I end this post again with the words of Albert Einstein - “Ultimately, the basis of all human values is morality.”
