Text Quotes
I was so absolutely riveted, I felt I was looking into the eyes of the artist. Art just closed the gap of time and space. The 16th century became as real to me as the 20th. It was something magical (Century Quotes)
I am a 21st century man. I don’t believe in magic. I believe in sweat, tears, life and death (Century Quotes)
Real beauty in the arts is eternal and would be accepted at all periods; but it wears the dress of its century: something of that dress clings to it, and woe to the works which appear in periods when the general taste is corrupted (Century Quotes)
In the twentieth century the number of people killed by their own governments under authoritarian regimes is four times the number killed in all this century’s wars combined (Century Quotes)
A half century of living should put a good deal into a person’s face besides a few wrinkles and some unwelcome folds around the chin (Century Quotes)
In the last century the practice of medicine has become no more than an adjunct to the pharmaceutical industry and the other aspects of the huge, powerful and immensely profitable health care industry. Medicine is no longer an independent profession. Doctors have become nothing more than a link connecting the pharmaceutical industry to the consumer (Century Quotes)
I wish I was better at art. I love some of the great artists of the 19th century and, compared to them, I just feel I lack this technique that they had. They have so much skill (Century Quotes)
For me, it’s always very beautiful that you can do something today in the 21st century which is not an imitation but which has a connection to art which is 4,000 years old (Century Quotes)
If the humanism that makes civilization civilized is to be preserved into the new century, it will need advocates. These advocates will need a memory, and part of that memory will need to be of an age in which they were not yet alive (Century Quotes)
The world is moving into a phase when landscape design may well be recognized as the most comprehensive of the arts. Man creates around him an environment that is a projection into nature of his abstract ideas. It is only in the present century that the collective landscape has emerged as a social necessity. We are promoting a landscape art on a scale never conceived of in history (Century Quotes)
The most important issue of the 21st century will be the condition of the global environment (Century Quotes)
I wanted to explore cancer not just biologically, but metaphorically. The idea that tuberculosis in the 19th century possessed the same kind of frightening and decaying quality was very interesting to me, and it seemed that one could explore the idea that every age defined its own illness (Century Quotes)
In the 24th century there will be no hunger, there will be no greed, and all the children will know how to read (Century Quotes)
When you undergo a visionary experience, what you are really doing is blowing your socially conditioned, 20th century, hive mind and allowing your brain to, literally, come to its senses (Century Quotes)
I have had more than half a century of such happiness. A great deal of worry and sorrow, too, but never a worry or a sorrow that was not offset by a purple iris, a lark, a bluebird, or a dewy morning glory (Century Quotes)
Uncommon things must be said in common words, if you would have them to be received in less than a century (Century Quotes)
Public policy in the twentieth century was about protecting and expanding the social compact, based on recognition that effective government at the federal level provides rules and services and safety measures that contribute to a better society (Century Quotes)
A lot of populists after populism died just became socialists. At the beginning of the 20th century, socialism looked like it was going to take off. It didn’t, of course, but a lot of people thought it was going to (Century Quotes)
Health, money. That’s what people worried about in the 14th century as much as today. I find it so much more interesting than the supposed activities of kings, queens, generals (Century Quotes)
Since the middle of the 20th century, more has been learnt about the ocean than during all preceding human history; at the same time, more has been lost (Century Quotes)
The excrement bubbles, the century slime decays, and the brainwashing government lackeys would have us say it’s under control (Century Quotes)
In the last century, as we learned more about genes, we were able to devise ways of accelerating evolution (Century Quotes)
It seemed to me that the real philosophical breakthroughs of the 20th century were in terms of the understanding of language. What is language? Where does it come from, how does it work, what does it do? (Century Quotes)
People are confusing me with a good actor when I’m just a good mimic. When someone asks me to play a nun from the fifteenth century, you’ll see what I mean (Century Quotes)
If two or three hundred years from now an earthbound civilization is dying... and they look back at the opportunity that we have here at the close of the twentieth century to move out into space and they see that we didn’t do anything with it... I don’t want history to judge us on having blown this opportunity, and I think history will judge us on this more than on any other issue (Century Quotes)
As far as what I do, my value as a writer is certainly not to try to recapitulate a 19th century form. Certain styles of narrative don’t conform to my style of experiencing the world (Century Quotes)
I think the way we think about cancer, the way we treat cancer, has dramatically changed in the last century. There is an enormous amount of options that a physician can provide today, right down from curing patients, treating patients or providing patients with psychic solace or pain relief (Century Quotes)
The increased abstraction in mathematics that took place during the early part of this century was paralleled by a similar trend in the arts. In both cases, the increased level of abstraction demands greater effort on the part of anyone who wants to understand the work (Century Quotes)
I think fashion is the best value way, the most affordable way in the 21st century, that men and women can express their personality (Century Quotes)
The role of an orchestra in the 21st century isn’t just playing, it’s about developing future audiences and performers (Century Quotes)
