Text Quotes
By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live (Modern Quotes)
The way in which the vast mass of the poor are treated by modern society is truly scandalous. They are herded into great cities where they breathe a fouler air than in the countryside which they have left (Modern Quotes)
America was born modern; it did not have to achieve modernity, nor did it have modernity thrust upon it (Modern Quotes)
In modern industrial society only minimal effort is necessary to satisfy one’s physical needs (Modern Quotes)
Modern life demands, and is waiting for, a new kind of plan, both for the house and the city (Modern Quotes)
All programmers are optimists. Perhaps this modern sorcery especially attracts those who believe in happy endings and fairy godmothers. Perhaps the hundreds of nitty frustrations drive away all but those who habitually focus on the end goal. Perhaps it is merely that computers are young, programmers are younger, and the young are always optimists (Modern Quotes)
For when asceticism was carried out of monastic cells into everyday life, and began to dominate worldly morality, it did its part in building the tremendous cosmos of the modern economic order. This order is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which today determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt (Modern Quotes)
The scandalous question that hangs over modern government and excites perpetual outrage is about political money and what it buys. What exactly do these contributors get in return for the hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars they funnel to the politicians? (Modern Quotes)
It seems inconceivable that a species of human could possess fully modern language and not be fully modern in all other ways, too. For this reason, the evolution of language is widely judged to be the culminating event in the emergence of humanity as we know it today (Modern Quotes)
The message of guidance that neither politics nor philosophy nor religion now seems able to provide, we look for in modern literature (Modern Quotes)
No medicine man these days can afford to be without a portable tape recorder. Without the aid of this modern device, which may be easily concealed in the undergrowth of the jungle, the old tribal authority will rapidly become undermined by the mounting influenece of modern skepticism (Modern Quotes)
Tradition is no longer a continuity but a series of sharp breaks. The modern tradition is the tradition of revolt (Modern Quotes)
The fear of hell, the punishment of sin, how the modern parent revolts from such teaching. Yet I will assert that far from doing us children harm, it was a sure foundation to the world of our confidence, a master girder in our palace of delight (Modern Quotes)
The writer has a grudge against society, which he documents with accounts of unsatisfying sex, unrealized ambition, unmitigated loneliness, and a sense of local and global distress. The square, overpopulation, the bourgeois, the bomb and the cocktail party are variously identified as sources of the grudge. There follows a little obscenity here, a dash of philosophy there, considerable whining overall, and a modern satirical novel is born (Modern Quotes)

The ablest men in all walks of modern life are men of faith. Most of them have much more faith than they themselves realize (Modern Quotes)
The modern school without systematic lectures turns out many graduates who lack retention. No sooner has the sound of the word left their teacher’s lips, the subject has been forgotten (Modern Quotes)
We could hardly believe that after so many ordeals, after all the trials of modern skepticism, there was still so much left in our souls to destroy (Modern Quotes)
A striking feature of moral and political argument in the modern world is the extent to which it is innovators, radicals, and revolutionaries who revive old doctrines, while their conservative and reactionary opponents are the inventors of new ones (Modern Quotes)
There is something ridiculous and even quite indecent in an individual claiming to be happy. Still more a people or a nation making such a claim. The pursuit of happiness... is without any question the most fatuous which could possibly be undertaken. This lamentable phrase the pursuit of happiness is responsible for a good part of the ills and miseries of the modern world (Modern Quotes)
How rich are we that we can look on these worlds with the perspective of modern science... that we do not have to wonder as did former men whether stars are jewels hanging from celestial drapery or peepholes in the astral skin of creation! (Modern Quotes)
Production and consumption are the nipples of modern society. Thus suckled, humanity grows in strength and beauty; rising standard of living, all modern conveniences, distractions of all kinds, culture for all, the comfort of your dreams (Modern Quotes)
No nation ancient or modern ever lost the liberty of freely speaking, writing, or publishing their sentiments, but forthwith lost their liberty in general and became slaves (Modern Quotes)
The shelf life of the modern hardback writer is somewhere between the milk and the yoghurt (Modern Quotes)
Some men, like modern shops, hang everything in their show windows; when one goes inside, nothing is to be found (Modern Quotes)
Rock ‘n roll is really swing with a modern name. It began on the levees and plantations, took in folk songs, and features blues and rhythm. It’s the rhythm that gets to the kids – they’re starved of music they can dance to, after all those years of crooners (Modern Quotes)
Most poetry in the modern age has retreated to the private sphere, turning its back on the political realm (Modern Quotes)
Rousseau ranks among the great educational theorists of the modern era, even if he was the last man to put in charge of a classroom. Young adults, he thought, should be allowed to develop their capabilities in their distinctive way (Modern Quotes)
People tend to view history as if it were another planet and think the modern world was invented in 1963. I don’t agree (Modern Quotes)
There was a time when men thought it was sexy to have a housewife waiting for him to come home from work in her slippers, but in modern society, I think an independent woman is even more sexy (Modern Quotes)
