Terry Eagleton Quotes:
Ocupation: Literary critic
Life: b. February 22, 1943
Birthday: February 22
We face a conflict between civilisation and culture, which used to be on the same side. Civilisation means rational reflection, material wellbeing, individual autonomy and ironic self-doubt; culture means a form of life that is customary, collective, passionate, spontaneous, unreflective and arational.
