Text Quotes
I am fascinated by all the new technology that creates places for us to meet in what is called cyberspace. I understand what it must have meant for the rebellions in the 19th century, especially in 1830 and 1848, when the mass circulated newspaper became so important for the spreading of information  (Century Quotes) It does surprise me that intelligent people in the 21st century could claim that if you respond to the terrorists with force, you spawn terrorism, but if you appease them, you somehow tame them. This argument, as I said, is very interesting, and very surprising  (Century Quotes) Neocons do not feel that kind of alarm or anxiety about the growth of the state in the past century, seeing it as natural, indeed inevitable... People have always preferred strong government to weak government, although they certainly have no liking for anything that smacks of overly intrusive government  (Century Quotes) To modern educated people, it seems obvious that matters of fact are to be ascertained by observation, not by consulting ancient authorities. But this is an entirely modern conception, which hardly existed before the seventeenth century  (Century Quotes) The energy crisis has not yet overwhelmed us, but it will if we do not act quickly. It’s a problem that we will not be able to solve in the next few years, and it’s likely to get progressively worse through the rest of this century. We must not be selfish or timid if we hope to have a decent world for our children and grandchildren. We simply must balance our demand for energy with our rapidly shrinking resources. By acting now we can control our future instead of letting the future control us  (Century Quotes) I feel that’s one of the central questions of fantasy. What did we lose when we entered the 20th and 21st century, and how can we mourn what we lost, and what can we replace it with? We’re still asking those questions in an urgent way  (Century Quotes) Why should human females become sterile in their forties, while female crocodiles continue to lay eggs into their third century?  (Century Quotes) Quite often in history action has been the echo of words. An era of talk was followed by an era of events. The new barbarism of the twentieth century is the echo of words bandied about by brilliant speakers and writers in the second half of the nineteenth  (Century Quotes) The great man... walks across his century and leaves the marks of his feet all over it, ripping out the dates on his goloshes as he passes  (Century Quotes) I was born into the century in which novels lost their stories, poems their rhymes, paintings their form, and music its beauty, but that does not mean I have to like that trend or go along with it  (Century Quotes) Since the last decades of the nineteenth century, revolt against the objectified world has determined the character of art and literature  (Century Quotes) The outstanding scientific discovery of the twentieth century is not television, or radio, but rather the complexity of the land organism  (Century Quotes) One of the great inventions of the twentieth century was the studied, methodical engineering of myth for political ends  (Century Quotes) It will afford me unfeigned satisfaction if my kingdom can add its quota toward the successful accomplishment of the most important astronomical observation of the present century and assist, however humbly, the enlightened nations of the earth in these costly enterprises  (Century Quotes) I was like one of those people who is allergic to the twentieth century... I’d been brought up to think there was some order to things, but there was no safety net. Doctors accused me of being mad  (Century Quotes) I think the biggest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology. A new era is beginning  (Century Quotes) No dogma taught by the present civilization seems to form so insuperable an obstacle in a way of a right understanding of the relations which culture sustains as to wilderness, as that which declares that the world was made especially for the uses of men. Every animal, plant, and crystal controverts it in the plainest terms. Yet it is taught from century to century as something ever new and precious, and in the resulting darkness the enormous conceit is allowed to go unchallenged  (Century Quotes) Trying to be a socialist and a libertarian is obviously a very difficult balancing act, which nobody has pulled off too successfully in this century  (Century Quotes) The question of how people orient around religion differently, or interact with one another, whether that be based on conflict or cooperation, will be one of the most engaging questions of the 21st century  (Century Quotes) Helvetica was a real step from the 19th century typeface... We were impressed by that because it was more neutral, and neutralism was a word that we loved. It should be neutral. It shouldn’t have a meaning in itself. The meaning is in the content of the text and not in the typeface  (Century Quotes) Innovation has stalled in the banking industry. While the rest of the world is in the digital age, banking remains stagnant. We are here to change this and bring banking to the 21st century. We will ensure our customers feel involved in the progress of this bank and are offering them a truly enjoyable banking experience – different from anything they have experienced before  (Century Quotes) I believe that in years to come, historians will see the beginning of the 21st century as the ‘golden age’ of real estate  (Century Quotes) Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn  (Century Quotes) The 19th century was the great period of engineering, thanks to the railways, thanks to lots of discoveries in metallurgy  (Century Quotes) The fundamentalists are insistent that they know best. It’s a dictatorial attitude towards personal morality, which is a modern creation that came about in the 19th century  (Century Quotes) Indeed, through fundamental advances in bionics in this century, we will set the technological foundation for an enhanced human experience, and we will end disability  (Century Quotes) What the history of aviation has brought in the 20th century should inspire us to be inventors and explorers ourselves in the new century  (Century Quotes) If I have accomplished anything, I owe it, among other fortunate circumstances, to the fact that through the early training bestowed on me by my father, I started, I may fairly say, with an advantage of a quarter of a century over my contemporaries  (Century Quotes) My short answer would be that there is no greatest jazz musician of the century. Jazz, like any valid art form, finds its greatness in its expression of the human spirit, and, to me, this can’t be reduced to a contest  (Century Quotes) It’s not the nineteenth century; I’m not meant to be judged on how good a housekeeper I am. Getting down on the floor with a lemon and a bucket of vinegar does not make me a better person  (Century Quotes)
