Text Quotes
Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation  (Modern Quotes) The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals  (Modern Quotes) To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art - that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts  (Modern Quotes) Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality  (Modern Quotes) There is one, and only one, thing in modern society more hideous than crime namely, repressive justice  (Modern Quotes) The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness  (Modern Quotes) The secret to modern life is finding the measure in time management. I have two kids, career and I travel, and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out  (Modern Quotes) During the past few decades, modern technology, with radio, TV, air travel, and satellites, has woven a network of communication which puts each part of the world in to almost instant contact with all the other parts  (Modern Quotes) Most modern calendars mar the sweet simplicity of our lives by reminding us that each day that passes is the anniversary of some perfectly uninteresting event  (Modern Quotes) It is absurd to have a hard and fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read  (Modern Quotes) The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to encourage in others  (Modern Quotes) Modern morality consists in accepting the standard of one's age. I consider that for any man of culture to accept the standard of his age is a form of the grossest immorality  (Modern Quotes) Nothing is so aggravating as calmness. There is something positively brutal about the good temper of most modern men  (Modern Quotes) The best one can say of modern creative art is that it is just a little less vulgar than reality  (Modern Quotes) Modern science, then, so far from being an enemy of romance, is seen on every hand to be it's sympathetic and resourceful friend, it's swift and irresistible helper in it's serious need, and an indulgent minister to it's lighter fancies  (Modern Quotes) Whatever, in fact, is modern in our life we owe to the Greeks. Whatever is an anachronism is due to mediaevalism  (Modern Quotes) I dislike modern memoirs. They are generally written by people who have either entirely lost their memories, or have never done anything worth remembering  (Modern Quotes) It is true that short forms of poetry have been cultivated in the Far East more than in modern Europe; but in all European literature short forms of poetry are to be found - indeed quite as short as anything in Japanese  (Modern Quotes) A very intimate sense of the expressiveness of outward things, which ponders, listens, penetrates, where the earlier, less developed consciousness passed lightly by, is an important element in the general temper of our modern poetry  (Modern Quotes) Formerly we used to canonise our heroes. The modern method is to vulgarise them. Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable  (Modern Quotes) It is only fair to state, with regard to modern journalists, that they always apologize to one in private for what they have written against one in public  (Modern Quotes) Nothing is so dangerous as being too modern; one is apt to grow old fashioned quite suddenly  (Modern Quotes) The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief. That the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart  (Modern Quotes) There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community  (Modern Quotes) Most of our modern portrait painters are doomed to absolute oblivion. They never paint what they see. They paint what the public sees, and the public never sees anything  (Modern Quotes) I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry  (Modern Quotes) It is the woman - nearly always - in spite of all the advances of modern feminism, who still takes responsibility for the bulk of the chores, as well as doing her paid job. This is true even in households where men try to be unselfish and to do their share  (Modern Quotes) There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better  (Modern Quotes) The modern mind tends to be more and more critical and analytical in spirit, hence it must devise for itself an engine of expression which is logically defensible at every point and which tends to correspond to the rigorous spirit of modern science  (Modern Quotes) The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science  (Modern Quotes)
