I would agree about the blues and baseball and jazz and democracy and freedom of speech. But that is all so 20th century?

What concretely is this great cultural influence?
"Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact."
"Want him to be more of a man? Try being more of a woman!"
"It is easier to be a lover than a husband, for the same reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day, than to say bright things from time to time."
