Text Quotes
The political currents that topped the global agenda in the late 20th century - revolutionary nationalism, feminism and ethnic struggle - place culture at their heart. (Century Quotes)
You don’t have to be Jewish to understand the history of Europe in the 20th century, but it helps. (Century Quotes)
Since creation of the E.U. a half century ago, Europe has enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history. (Century Quotes)
The first half of the 20th century belongs to Picasso, and the second half is about photography. They said digital would kill photography because everyone can do it, but they said that about the box brownie in 1885 when it came out. It makes photography interesting because everyone thinks they can take a picture. (Century Quotes)
Globalisation means many things. At one level, it talks of trade, which since the 16th century has exchanged goods and now, increasingly, ideas and information across the globe. But globalisation is also a view of the world - it is an opinion about man and why men are on the world. (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)
We’re not on a sustainable path in civilization. We’re on an exponential growth curve, on which we perhaps always have been, but it has turned up sharply at the beginning of the 20th century. (Century Quotes)
The defining challenge of the 21st century will be to face the reality that humanity shares a common fate on a crowded planet. (Century Quotes)
For me, ‘Moby-Dick’ is more than the greatest American novel ever written; it is a metaphysical survival manual - the best guidebook there is for a literate man or woman facing an impenetrable unknown: the future of civilization in this storm-tossed 21st century. (Century Quotes)
Contemporary philosophers are facing problems that were unthinkable only one century ago, such as whether space and time are mutually Independent, whether there is objective chance or only uncertainty, whether physics can explain chemical change, whether our behavior is fully determined by our genomes, whether ideation can change the brain, or whether either the economy or ideas are the ultimate roots of the social. (Century Quotes)
Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen...We risk damages on a scale larger than the two world wars of the last century. (Century Quotes)
We are now in the 21st century: all books, including the Koran, should be fair game for flushing down the toilet without fear of violent reprisal. (Century Quotes)
For much of the latter part of the 20th century, Australia seemed to be opening up to something large and good. It believed itself a generous country, the land of the ‘fair go.’ (Century Quotes)
Twenty-first century war adds new risks: more and more often there are no front lines, no central command, no rules of engagement - only a chaotic collision of politics, power, faith and bloodlust. Victims are as likely to be civilians as soldiers. (Century Quotes)
The result of these ungodly unions was a race of very wicked and very powerful hybrid (half-fallen angel, half-human) offspring - the Nephilim - who corrupted, harassed, even killed mankind. Now, at the end of the 20th century, we have the return of alien entities with apparent supernatural powers. (Century Quotes)
The greatest scandal of the century in American psychiatry ... is the growing mania among thousands of inept therapists, family counselors, and social workers for arousing false memories of childhoood sexual abuse. (Century Quotes)
I believe in mysticism, with an interior goal, and you are your own temple and your own priest. I don’t believe anymore in religions, because you see today there are religious wars, prejudice, false morals, and the woman is despised. Religion is too old now; it’s from another century, it’s not for today. (Century Quotes)
My family history, like that of many Polish, German and Jewish families from Central Europe in the 20th century, is complex. (Century Quotes)
Dying in the sanitary environment of a hospital is a relatively new concept. In the late 19th century, dying at a hospital was reserved for people who had nothing and no one. Given the choice, a person wanted to die at home in their bed, surrounded by friends and family. (Century Quotes)
In California, for so long now, our families have been struggling in this economic environment, and Dianne Feinstein, been in office nearly half a century, is out of touch of what women and families are going through in California. (Century Quotes)
Wagner’s philosophy had absolutely nothing to do with Bruckner. Bruckner hadn’t written a single word against Jews. Wagner’s book on the Jews was one of the most infamous books of the 19th century. (Century Quotes)
Neil Armstrong was no Christopher Columbus. In most respects, he was better. Unlike the famous fifteenth century seafarer, Armstrong knew where he landed. He also spent his time in public service, not in jail, and his passing was marked by world-wide encomiums. He ended his days as a celebrated explorer rather than a royal inconvenience. (Century Quotes)
It seemed perfectly possible that, in spite of my certainty of my own genius, I might die of some illness, or perhaps even in a street accident, before I had ever glimpsed the meaning of life. My moods of happiness and self-confidence convinced me that I had a destiny to become a famous writer, and to be remembered as one of the most important thinkers of the century. (Century Quotes)
Queen Elizabeth of England is the real fashion icon of the century. And she has a sense of humor. (Century Quotes)
Simplicity survives the changes of fashion. Women of chic are wearing now dresses they bought from me in 1936. Fit the century, forget the year. (Century Quotes)
I would never advise anyone to stay in the closet to further their careers - I’m sure it leads to big fat gay ulcers. There are actors I know who won’t come out, and I can see it crippling them as human beings. It’s a great shame that people can’t be who they are in the 21st century, and people won’t let them be who they are. (Century Quotes)
One of the strange phenomena of the last century is the spectacle of religion dropping the appeal of fear while other human interests have picked it up. (Century Quotes)
Employers sense in me a denial of their values...they fear me. I suspect that they can see that I am forced to function in a century which I loathe. (Century Quotes)
What I most fear now is that within a century or so there may not be any human future at all (Century Quotes)
If more people had put their fellow human beings before abstractions last century, we shouldn’t be where we are now. (Century Quotes)
