Happy Birthday to the amazing and inspiring Claude Levi-Strauss. He turned 100 yesterday...
Quote:
“He represents an extremely subversive vision with his interest in populations that were disdained. He paid careful attention, not touristically but profoundly, to the human beings on the earth who think differently from us. It’s a respect for others, which is very strong and very moving. He knew that cultural diversity is necessary for cultural creativity, for the future.”
