Text Quotes
Civilization is a conspiracy. Modern life is the silent compact of comfortable folk to keep up pretences  (Modern Quotes) I wondered whether the scientific modern brain could not get to the stage of realising that Space is not an empty homogeneous medium, but full of intricate differences, intelligible and real, though not with our common reality  (Modern Quotes) A sad fact of life lately at the Museum of Modern Art is that when it comes to group shows of contemporary painting from the collection, the bar has been set pretty low  (Modern Quotes) All the modern verse plays, they're terrible; they're mostly about the poetry. It's more important that the play is first  (Modern Quotes) The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened  (Modern Quotes) Every family is different. I am mom and I am dad and I'm going to do my best. You should be proud, walk through life saying I have the coolest family. I am part of a modern family  (Modern Quotes) Mind you, the Elizabethans had so many words for the female genitals that it is quite hard to speak a sentence of modern English without inadvertently mentioning at least three of them  (Modern Quotes) The natural tendency of representative government, as of modern civilisation, is towards collective mediocrity: and this tendency is increased by all reductions and extensions of the franchise, their effect being to place the principal power in the hands of classes more and more below the highest level of instruction in the community  (Modern Quotes) In the conventional wisdom of conservatives, the modern search for security is regularly billed as the greatest single threat to economic progress  (Modern Quotes) Any consideration of the life and larger social existence of the modern corporate man begins and also largely ends with the effect of one all-embracing force. That is organization - the highly structured assemblage of men, and now some women, of which he is a part. It is to this, at the expense of family, friends, sex, recreation and sometimes health and effective control of alcoholic intake, that he is expected to devote his energies  (Modern Quotes) The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable  (Modern Quotes) It is a commonplace of modern technology that problems have solutions before there is knowledge of how they are to be solved  (Modern Quotes) The modern corporation must manufacture not only goods but the desire for the goods it manufactures  (Modern Quotes) It had been held that the economic system, any capitalist system, found it's equilibrium at full employment. Left to itself, it was thus that it came to rest. Idle men and idle plant were an aberration, a wholly temporary failing. Keynes showed that the modern economy could as well find it's equilibrium with continuing, serious unemployment. Its perfectly normal tendency was to what economists have since come to call an underemployment equilibrium  (Modern Quotes) No politician can praise unemployment or inflation, and there is no way of combining high employment with stable prices that does not involve some control of income and prices. Otherwise the struggle for more consumption and more income to sustain it-a struggle that modern corporations, modern unions and modern democracy all facilitate and encourage-will drive up prices. Only heavy unemployment will then temper this upward thrust. Not many wish to confront the truth that the modern economy gives a choice only between inflation, unemployment, or controls  (Modern Quotes) Rarely in modern times has there been such a revolution in commercial sentiment as occurred in 2008, or such a display in government and business of panic and helplessness  (Modern Quotes) The west has a great deal to answer for in the Middle East, from Britain's belated empire-building after the First World War to the US and British policy that condemns modern Iraq to the material and social squalor of a half century ago  (Modern Quotes) In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern  (Modern Quotes) I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern  (Modern Quotes) To reinvent a newly impeccable you in the most modern of outfits, don't skip on makeup and be sure to have flawless skin and hair. That will have more impact than expensive clothes  (Modern Quotes) O that my tongue were in the thunder's mouth! Then with passion would I shake the world, and rouse from sleep that fell anatomy which cannot hear a lady's feeble voice, which scorns a modern invocation  (Modern Quotes) However far modern science and techniques have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson; nothing is impossible  (Modern Quotes) By his very success in inventing labor-saving devices, modern man has manufactured an abyss of boredom that only the privileged classes in earlier civilizations have ever fathomed  (Modern Quotes) This new consensus seemed so compelling that Ernst Mayr, the dean of modern Darwinians, opened the ashcan of history for a deposit of Geoffrey's ideas about anatomical unity  (Modern Quotes) The very nature of interstate war puts innocent civilians into great jeopardy, especially with modern technology  (Modern Quotes) What more chilling indictment of the modern world is there than this: that the condition of the smartphone user is that of a dumb animal. Moooo!  (Modern Quotes) I'm really interested in modern history, but to fulfill a history degree at Brown you have to do modern and pre-modern  (Modern Quotes) All sober inquirers after truth, ancient and modern, pagan and Christian, have declared that the happiness of man, as well as his dignity, consists in virtue  (Modern Quotes) Modern civilisation is complicated and artificial. Simple folk live in a world of love and peace. Let no one hate another or harm another  (Modern Quotes) What is a modern poet's fate? To write his thoughts upon a slate; the critic spits on what is done, gives it a wipe - and all is gone  (Modern Quotes)
