Sooner or later such a religion will emerge  (Modern Quotes) Modern writers are the moons of literature; they shine with reflected light, with light borrowed from the ancients  (Modern Quotes) What is peculiar to modern societies is not that they consigned sex to a shadow existence, but that they dedicated themselves to speaking of it ad infinitum, while exploiting it as the secret  (Modern Quotes) Modern medicine, for all its advances, knows less than 10 percent of what your body knows instinctively  (Modern Quotes) I’m modern because I make the difficult seem easy, and so I can communicate with the whole world  (Modern Quotes) That’s part of the requirement for me to be an artist is that you’re trying to share your personal existence with others and trying to illuminate modern life, trying to understand life  (Modern Quotes) A lot of people work out to be skinny. That’s so boring, and it seems like a depressing goal for a modern woman  (Modern Quotes) Modern recording has made it so that people can spend forever taking shortcuts and making everything uniform, but that strips music of what makes it exciting  (Modern Quotes) For most people, the major hurdle in grasping modern insights into the nature of the universe is that these developments are usually phrased using mathematics  (Modern Quotes) As a young boy, scouting gave me a confidence and camaraderie that is hard to find in modern life  (Modern Quotes) I always believe the rule by king or official leader is outdated. Now we must catch up with the modern world  (Modern Quotes) My only worry about tweeting and modern technology is how it has crept into even the darkest corners of the absolute global village we live in  (Modern Quotes) What’s great in the modern world is that it’s becoming easier and easier for people to create without having access to large sums of money. They need access to certain technologies, but the cost is far less than it used to be  (Modern Quotes) There’s no way I’m going to stand up for bad ingredients. We love seasonal ingredients. It’s a false dichotomy to say that modern cooking is at odds with that, but some people want to have a great ingredient and no technique  (Modern Quotes) Sometimes I’m dazzled by how modern and fabulous we are, and how easy everything can be for us; that’s the gilded glow of technology, and I marvel at it all the time  (Modern Quotes) A lot of modern horror can leave me cold, and I’m not good with blood and gore and all that stuff.
