Text Quotes
What’s next for technology and design? A lot less thinking about technology for technology’s sake, and a lot more thinking about design. Art humanizes technology and makes it understandable. Design is needed to make sense of information overload. It is why art and design will rise in importance during this century as we try to make sense of all the possibilities that digital technology now affords (Century Quotes)
Animal research and testing has played a part in almost every medical breakthrough of the last century. It has saved hundreds of millions of lives worldwide (Century Quotes)
The experience of a century and a half has demonstrated that our system of free government functions best when the maximum degree of information is made available to our people. In fact, free and candid discussion of vexing problems is the bedrock of democracy and it may be our surest safeguard for peace (Century Quotes)
Sometimes at lectures I am asked: how would the champions of the last century play today? I think that, after making a hurried study of modern openings, and watching one or two tournaments, the champions of the last century, and indeed the century before that, would very quickly occupy the same place that they occupied when they were alive (Century Quotes)
I have met with political leaders, legislators, and diplomats, seeking the next steps to press in reducing and eliminating the nuclear threat in this century. I have participated in public coalitions developing programmes for action to combat the global rash of small arms. All are trying and making a difference (Century Quotes)
The people who ignite our imaginations in the next century will become the idea barons. Gray matter will be their real estate, and their net worth will be determined by what grows out of it (Century Quotes)
We’re not great friends, but I admire him. If he thinks he’s the best player of the century, that’s his problem (Century Quotes)
The seventeenth century is everywhere a time in which the state’s power over everything individual increases, whether that power be in absolutist hands or may be considered the result of a contract, etc. People begin to dispute the sacred right of the individual ruler or authority without being aware that at the same time they are playing into the hands of a colossal state power (Century Quotes)
The great moral question of the 21st century is this: if all knowing, all culture, all art, all useful information can be costlessly given to everyone at the same price that it is given to anyone; if everyone can have everything, anywhere, all the time, why is it ever moral to exclude anyone? (Century Quotes)
In the same way that slavery was a moral challenge for the 19th century and totalitarianism was a challenge for the 20th century, the challenge that women and girls face around the world is the moral challenge of our time (Century Quotes)
So familiar are eggs to us, however, that in the eighteenth century they were referred to as cackling farts, on the basis that chickens cackled all the time and eggs came out of the back of them (Century Quotes)
Fetish is the exploration of sex as art, and the refinement of one’s personal desires. Anything can be fetishised... There’ll be new fetishes forever. I feel that the 21st century is all about fetish (Century Quotes)
In the 21st century, somebody or something has changed the rules about how our world works (Century Quotes)
The 19th century was a century of empires, the 20th century was a century of nation states. The 21st century will be a century of cities (Century Quotes)
Throughout the 20th century, we created wealth through vertically integrated corporations. Now, we create wealth through networks. We are at a turning point in human history, where the industrial age has finally run out of gas (Century Quotes)
Here we are in the century of information, that is to say the unformed. Every kind of literature will be journalistic, with a science for ballast (Century Quotes)
Ten years before its time, a fashion is indecent; ten years after, it is hideous; but a century after, it is romantic (Century Quotes)
I believe that the memoir is the novel of the 21st century; it’s an amazing form that we haven’t even begun to tap…we’re just getting started figuring out what the rules are (Century Quotes)
Heaven is totally overrated. It seems boring. Clouds, listening to people play the harp. It should be somewhere you can’t wait to go, like a luxury hotel. Maybe blue skies and soft music were enough to keep people in line in the 17th century, but heaven has to step it up a bit. They’re basically getting by because they only have to be better than hell (Century Quotes)
It keeps startling me that at the beginning of this 21st century, at a time when we can... explore the depths of the seas and build an international space station, we have not been able to make childbirth safe for all women around the world... This is one of the greatest social causes of our time (Century Quotes)
I believe that one of the saddest things in the world today is that some people don’t have enough food to nourish themselves. It’s the 21st century and that’s really not acceptable, so if I could do something that would change that I would be really happy (Century Quotes)
In the 21st century, I think the heroes will be the people who will improve the quality of life, fight poverty and introduce more sustainability (Century Quotes)
Einstein believed deeply that science should transcend national and ethnic divisions. But he watched physicists and chemists become the purveyors of weapons of mass destruction in the early 20th century (Century Quotes)
Every science that has thriven has thriven upon its own symbols: logic, the only science which is admitted to have made no improvements in century after century, is the only one which has grown no symbols (Century Quotes)
To fail to properly contextualize content has historically been the basis for the slaughter of millions of people in every century throughout human history. To ignore context is the greatest source of catastrophe for every generation of man, and it continutes on in the present time with the same catastrophic consequences. There is no greater lesson that needs to be learned to reduce human suffering and bring ignorance to an end (Century Quotes)
The industrial civilisation is based on the consumption of energy resources that are inherently limited in quantity and that are about to become scarce. When they do, competition for what remains will trigger dramatic economic and geopolitical events; in the end, it may be impossible for even a single nation to sustain industrialism as we have know it in the twentieth century (Century Quotes)
In the 19th century, we devoted our best minds to exploring nature. In the 20th century, we devoted ourselves to controlling and harnessing it. In the 21st century, we must devote ourselves to restoring it (Century Quotes)
It is a stark and arresting fact that, since the middle of the 20th century, humankind has consumed more natural resources than in all previous human history (Century Quotes)
In this twentieth century, to stop rushing around, to sit quietly on the grass, to switch off the world and come back to the earth, to allow the eye to see a willow, a bush, a cloud, a leaf, is an unforgettable experience (Century Quotes)
The central event of the twentieth century is the overthrow of matter... The powers of the mind are everywhere ascendant over the brute force of things (Century Quotes)
