Quotes by Jeet Heer  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“To be completely apolitical and only live for culture is to risk becoming a dandy. To disdain culture and care only for politics is to become mired in soulless earnestness. Balancing the claims of culture and politics is a difficult task but a necessary one, in order to make culture properly grounded in social awareness and politics rightly respectful of aesthetic values.”
Jeet Heer
