Daniel Quinn Quote

Culture. A culture is a people enacting a story. A people enacting a story. And a story again is …? A scenario interrelating man, the world, and the gods. Okay. So you’re saying that the people of my culture are enacting their own story about man, the world, and the gods. That’s right.

About Daniel Quinn

Daniel Clarence Quinn (October 11, 1935 – February 17, 2018) was an American author (primarily, novelist and fabulist), cultural critic, and publisher of educational texts, best known for his novel Ishmael, which won the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award in 1991 and was published the following year. Quinn's ideas are popularly associated with environmentalism, though he criticized this term for portraying the environment as separate from human life, thus creating a false dichotomy. Instead, Quinn referred to his philosophy as "new tribalism".
