Mark of Culture

Nicolás Gómez Dávila (1913-1994), Escolios a un Texto Implicito, II (Bogotá: Instituto Colombiano de Cultura, 1977), p. 195 (my translation):
A cultured soul is one in which the din of the living does not drown out the music of the dead.

Alma culta es aquella donde el estruendo de los vivos no ahoga la música de los muertos.
