Text Quotes
In the West, especially after World War II, the government came to be seen as so successful that it could fulfill all the obligations that in less modern societies are fulfilled by the family.  (Modern Quotes) I go straight for Seinfeld, Modern Family, Friends, and Golden Girls. Those are my pillars of strength on TV.  (Modern Quotes) Suicidal violence is not the exclusive property of the Muslim world. Suicide bombings were a tactic of nationalist struggles in 19th-century Europe and Russia, the far east during the second world war and the Vietnam war, and in modern Sri Lanka.  (Modern Quotes) What’s great in the modern world is that it’s becoming easier and easier for people to create without having access to large sums of money. They need access to certain technologies, but the cost is far less than it used to be.  (Modern Quotes) As we consider the fast pace of scientific and technological progress in our modern world, we must not lose our moral compass and give way to ‘free market eugenics’.  (Modern Quotes) I’m a simple hillbilly. I don’t like eating modern, industrialized, fast food. I grew up eating home-cooked food. So when I’m traveling abroad, like when I recently received a six-month writing fellowship to Iowa in the U.S., I like to cook my own food.  (Modern Quotes) Modern candidates seem to have to live with political matters all the time. In my father’s time, a politician’s home was still his castle.  (Modern Quotes) One of the most feared expressions in modern times is ‘The computer is down.’  (Modern Quotes) People sort of accuse Tolkien of not being good with female characters, and I think that Eowyn actually proves that to be wrong to some degree. Eowyn is actually a strong female character, and she’s a surprisingly modern character, considering who Tolkien actually was sort of a stuffy English professor in the 1930s and 40s.  (Modern Quotes) Science fiction writers missed the most salient feature of our modern era: the Internet  (Modern Quotes) In the modern era, our nation experienced constant hardship and difficulties. The Chinese nation reached the most dangerous period. Since then, countless people with lofty ideals to realise the great revival of the Chinese nation rose to resist and fight, but failed one time after another.  (Modern Quotes) Those involved in the program are interested in how to use photography, videos, the Internet, film, and anything related to communications and transmission of information in the most up-to-date modern ways.  (Modern Quotes) A lot of modern film scoring is about a lack of themes, so I try to find ways of using music that doesn’t necessarily have thematic material in it to make the points when there is thematic material even stronger. It’s cool to be able to combine old and new.  (Modern Quotes) It often disturbs me, when I see a film set in a historical time, that the people are too modern  (Modern Quotes) It’s almost sickening now that the regulators ‘on the beat’ while the biggest credit collapse in modern financial history unfolded are now patting themselves on the back for their ‘brave’ stance on short-selling!  (Modern Quotes) Apparently modern financial regulators are vastly more sophisticated than we were as financial regulators 25 years ago - because we had never figured out that the key to financial stability was leaving felons in charge of the largest financial institutions in the world.  (Modern Quotes) There are good reasons why we don’t want everyone to learn nuclear physics, medicine or how financial markets work. Our entire modern project has been about delegating power over us to skilled people who want to do the work and be rewarded accordingly.  (Modern Quotes) The figure of Satan and the fires of hell have been demythologized by modern Christian biblical scholars, theologians and philosophers.  (Modern Quotes) Modern warfare wasn’t supposed to have this much blood in it. The weapons were supposed to cook everyone neatly, like eggs in their shells. (Mark Vorkosigan’s first experience with warfare, on seeing Miles Vorkosigan splattered before him)  (Modern Quotes) In modern warfare, journalists are among the first responders, seeking out truth in the turmoil and wreckage, wherever it takes them.  (Modern Quotes) Just because many modern academics are very secular does not mean that we should ignore those factors in earlier generations - and by that, I don’t just mean five or six centuries ago.  (Modern Quotes) In modern times, if the sole measure of what’s out there flows from your five senses then a precarious life awaits you.  (Modern Quotes) So here we are, just two months away from the election, with more and more examples that modern day Jim Crowe laws are alive and well in the state of Florida.  (Modern Quotes) Carl Jung put [Orfeo Angelucci] in his last book [Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky, Harcourt, Brace and World, 1959]. He said Orfeo had made up a new bible.  (Modern Quotes) With the emergence of the Internet, it has become possible for creative and bold people with focus and determination to establish businesses in some of our remotest communities. But these will not work if they do not have reliable transport routes responding to the impatient modern customer.  (Modern Quotes) Modern scientific knowledge appeared piecemeal. Historians wrote about human history; physicists tackled the material world; and biologists studied the world of living organisms. But there were few links between these disciplines, as researchers focused on getting the details right.  (Modern Quotes) I was introduced to the world of modern food production in the mid-1990s, while researching an article about California’s strawberry industry for the ‘Atlantic Monthly.’  (Modern Quotes) Modern genetic engineering makes producing GMO food products relatively easy. GMOs can improve crop yield and greatly enhance the nutritional value of those same crops.  (Modern Quotes) Much of modern liberalism consists of people trying to get revenge on the football players they felt inferior to in school.  (Modern Quotes) The Olympic stadium may have been built only in the early 1970s but it was clear for a long time it had no future. For many reasons it is not good enough for modern football and today’s fans.  (Modern Quotes)
