Modern Quotes

Non-human primates spend hours a day grooming each other. And with humans, touching is also important. It’s a way to form bonds and connect in modern society. But you can also speed up the use of conscious purposes once you’re aware of that, and it can be manipulated Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to look at many, many things in modern life that I believe are going faster, and I’m trying to look at why they’re going faster and what effect they have on us. We all know about FedEx and instant pudding, but it doesn’t mean we’ve looked at all the consequences of our desire for speed Picture Quote #1

I don’t think the Republican Party, or I should say the Republican Party as the vehicle for modern American conservative ideas, survives with Donald Trump Picture Quote #1

The fictive structure, my work, my imagination, my books are about the details, the huge construction about culture, Islamic culture or modern Turkey. They’re all intertwined Picture Quote #1

Industry is extremely slow in readjusting itself to the manufacture of modern consumer goods Picture Quote #1

I have a passion for modern and contemporary art. I spend a lot of time in museums; I particularly like the Guggenheim, MoMA in New York or LACMA and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, for example. I cannot wait for the Louis Vuitton Foundation to open Picture Quote #1

The abstractness of modern art has to do with how much an enlightened mind rejects of the contemporary social order Picture Quote #1

I don’t see boundaries between styles, such as modern or contemporary. I’ve collected each piece from a different experience or period of my life Picture Quote #1

We live in a modern world, and in contemporary music the central fact is contamination. Not the contamination of disease but the contamination of musical styles. If you find this in me, that is good Picture Quote #1

Liberalism, contrary to popular belief, is facing backward in considering the injustice of its ancestors. Conservatism, contrary to popular belief, is facing forward in considering the psychology of its descendants. Definitively, it seems in the modern world that neither side really knows which direction it’s facing, and men of the sharpest judgment are simply turned off from picking either of the poisons Picture Quote #1

My whole drive to be an actor was finding roles that I really believed represent modern women, the struggles that we deal with. Women who are strong and capable and in control of their own lives Picture Quote #1

The Sanctuary at Two Rivers offers a much needed escape or retreat from the fast paced, modern lifestyle we have all become accustomed to, with its exquisite beauty, serenity, and raw nature. Costa Rica was the perfect place for developing such an important project Picture Quote #1

Anybody who loves country music loves gospel. Even they are competing with the same type of problem that I’m competing with. We older artists are competing with the new style of country, with their new modern style of gospel, with the young people Picture Quote #1

I find most modern country virtually unlistenable. I can’t relate to the music or the lyrics Picture Quote #1

The song ‘Take This Job and Shove It’ spent 18 weeks on the country charts in 1977. 1970s country music fans had a clearer understanding of the ennui of wage-slavery than modern elites Picture Quote #1

I’m a traditional country singer and we’re always trying to make that a fresh and modern sound. That’s always going to be the challenge with me Picture Quote #1

The modern Middle East was largely created by the British. It was they who carried the Allied war effort in the region during World War I and who, at its close, principally fashioned its peace. It was a peace presaged by the nickname given the region by covetous British leaders in wartime: ‘The Great Loot.’ Picture Quote #1

Maps of Time attempts to assemble a coherent and accessible account of origins, a modern creation myth Picture Quote #1

Modern man drives a mortgaged car over a bond-financed highway on credit-card gas Picture Quote #1

Ian Rankin’s Rebus is the king of modern British crime fiction. He is dour, determined, and constantly falls foul of his seniors. For all this, we root for him. He is eminently loveable, a quixotic hero moving through the darker half of a Jekyll and Hyde Edinburgh Picture Quote #1

The modern view of criminal justice, broadly, is that public concern with morality or expediency decrees expiation for the violation of a norm; this concern finds expression in the infliction of punishment on the evil doer by agents of the state, the evil doer, however, enjoying the protection of a regular procedure Picture Quote #1

The modern Westerner, persuaded that he has a right to think for himself and imagining that he exercises this right, is unwilling to acknowledge that his every thought has been shaped by cultural and historical influences and that his opinions fit, like pieces of jigsaw puzzle, into a pattern which has nothing random about it Picture Quote #1

...it is time [for Islam] to assume, along with all of the great cultural traditions, the modern risks of scientific knowledge Picture Quote #1

Today, Labour has a disruptive economic narrative - that Britain needs fundamental change in its market structure and culture to compete in the modern world Picture Quote #1

For the longest time, Indian women have been okay with being curvy. But I think the modern Indian woman needs to get toned. I don’t endorse being thin. Anorexia and bulimia are a reality in India because everybody wants to be thin Picture Quote #1

It is one of the little known facts about modern Scottish politics that it is not quite as cut-throat as people think it is Picture Quote #1

More and more, modern warfare will be about people sitting in bunkers in front of computer screens, whether remotely piloted aircraft or cyber weapons Picture Quote #1

Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development... For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential Picture Quote #1
