Text Quotes
The fundamental idea of modern capitalism is not the right of the individual to possess and enjoy what he has earned, but the ;thesis that the exercise of this right redounds to the general good  (Modern Quotes) I have switched on this modern laptop machine. And I have told myself that I must resist the temptation to start playing solitaire upon it  (Modern Quotes) There is great weight in the modern times of being monarch, the scrutiny and access is much more than in times gone by  (Modern Quotes) Evolution as such is no longer a theory for a modern author. It is as much a fact as that the earth revolves around the sun  (Modern Quotes) The moment of drifting into thought has been so clipped by modern technology. Our lives are filled with distraction with smartphones and all the rest. People are so locked into not being present  (Modern Quotes) What modern art means is that you have to keep finding new ways to express yourself, to express the problems, that there are no settled ways, no fixed approach. This is a painful situation, and modern art is about this painful situation of having no absolutely definite way of expressing yourself  (Modern Quotes) Everywhere in the modern world there is neglect, the need to be recognized, which is not satisfied. Art is a way of recognizing oneself, which is why it will always be modern  (Modern Quotes) I think the messiness and embodied nature of modern life just produces an enhanced signal for our attention  (Modern Quotes) That is why my pictures don’t look like modern art. It’s some sort of timidity on my part I’m sure  (Modern Quotes) Too many modern painters set themselves satisfied with just a coincidence, the spot in its raw, meaningless form  (Modern Quotes) So long as painting deals with objective nature, it is an impure art, for recognizability precludes the highest aesthetic emotion. All painting, ancient or modern, moves us aesthetically only in so far as it possesses a force over and beyond its aspect  (Modern Quotes) The first principle of modern cultures may be their connectedness. Culture is like wind and wind knows no boundary or center. Once there is a center, wind becomes a whirlwind  (Modern Quotes) There will come a time when the world will look back to modern vivisection in the name of science, as they do now to burning at the stake in the name of religion  (Modern Quotes) There are some modern practitioners, who declaim against medical theory in general, not considering that to think is to theorize; and that no one can direct a method of cure to a person labouring under disease, without thinking, that is, without theorizing; and happy therefore is the patient, whose physician possesses the best theory  (Modern Quotes) The modern naturalist must realize that in some of its branches his profession, while more than ever a science, has also become an art  (Modern Quotes) If nobody comes to your shows, then it’s modern dance. If everybody comes to your shows and no one likes it, is that ballet? I don’t know  (Modern Quotes) The way to develop your psychic ability is by learning to create a shield between yourself and the sensorial and vibratory bombardment that we experience in the modern world  (Modern Quotes) The psychic plane is clouded over by emotions and thoughts and the general dullness and malaise that develops in our contemporary world through the social conditioning that most individuals experience in the modern era  (Modern Quotes) As far as art’s concerned, I probably like modern art more than traditional art  (Modern Quotes) The curse of modern times is the propensity of male hormones in places where they can do the most damage  (Modern Quotes) Modern man threw a brick through his own window in order to sell himself a burglar alarm  (Modern Quotes) The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of contemporary violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence. The frenzy of our activity neutralizes our work for peace. It destroys our own inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of our own work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful  (Modern Quotes) Be versed in ancient lore, and familiarize yourself with the modern; then may you become teachers  (Modern 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  (Modern Quotes) When an artist begins to count strokes instead of regarding nature he is lost. This preoccupation with technique, at the expense of truth and sincerity, is the principal fault I find in much of the work of modern painters  (Modern Quotes) I think modern educational theorists are inclined to attach too much importance to the negative virtue of not interfering with children, and too little to the positive merit of enjoying their company  (Modern Quotes) The modern dance is no dance in the first place, and when you’ve finally learned it, it’s not modern any more  (Modern Quotes) This modern mania for interfering in other’s lives, usually under the guise of health and safety concerns, is highly irritating and counterproductive. Down with the nanny state  (Modern Quotes) Where are the real sources of human dignity, freedom and modern democracy, if not in the concept of infinity to which all men are equal?  (Modern Quotes) In our modern world we have seen inaugurated the reign of a dull bourgeois rationalism, which finds some inadequate reason for all things in heaven and earth and makes a God of its own infallibility  (Modern Quotes)
