I cannot sufficiently celebrate the glorious liberty that reigns in the public libraries of the twentieth century as compared with the intolerable management of those of the nineteenth century, in which the books were jealously railed away from the people, and obtainable only at an expenditure of time and red tape calculated to discourage any ordinary taste for literature (Twentieth Century Quotes)
It is said that peace is the basic tenet of all religion. Yet it is in the name of religion that there has been so much disturbance, bloodshed and persecution. It is indeed a pity that even at the close of the twentieth century we’ve had to witness such atrocities because of religion. Flying the flag of religion has always proved the easiest way to crush to nothingness human beings as well as the spirit of humanity (Twentieth Century Quotes)
And in this silence of the dumb and these speeches of the blind, in this medly of people bound together by the same grief, terror and hope, in this hatred and lack of understanding between men who spoke the same tongue, you could see much of the tragedy of the twentieth century (Twentieth Century Quotes)

Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won’t do. It is an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth century thought (Twentieth Century Quotes)
The industrial civilisation is based on the consumption of energy resources that are inherently limited in quantity and that are about to become scarce. When they do, competition for what remains will trigger dramatic economic and geopolitical events; in the end, it may be impossible for even a single nation to sustain industrialism as we have know it in the twentieth century (Twentieth Century Quotes)
In this twentieth century, to stop rushing around, to sit quietly on the grass, to switch off the world and come back to the earth, to allow the eye to see a willow, a bush, a cloud, a leaf, is an unforgettable experience (Twentieth Century Quotes)
The central event of the twentieth century is the overthrow of matter... The powers of the mind are everywhere ascendant over the brute force of things (Twentieth Century Quotes)

Public policy in the twentieth century was about protecting and expanding the social compact, based on recognition that effective government at the federal level provides rules and services and safety measures that contribute to a better society (Twentieth Century Quotes)
If two or three hundred years from now an earthbound civilization is dying... and they look back at the opportunity that we have here at the close of the twentieth century to move out into space and they see that we didn’t do anything with it... I don’t want history to judge us on having blown this opportunity, and I think history will judge us on this more than on any other issue (Twentieth Century Quotes)
Quite often in history action has been the echo of words. An era of talk was followed by an era of events. The new barbarism of the twentieth century is the echo of words bandied about by brilliant speakers and writers in the second half of the nineteenth (Twentieth Century Quotes)
The outstanding scientific discovery of the twentieth century is not television, or radio, but rather the complexity of the land organism (Twentieth Century Quotes)

In the late twentieth century, staying sober has become just as much an addiction as getting wasted (Twentieth Century Quotes)
We must bear in mind the possibility that the greater opportunities open in the twentieth century to women may be quite withdrawn, and that we may return to stricter regimentation of women (Twentieth Century Quotes)
At any given period in history the ideas of the common mind are found to antedate the facts. The facts of the twentieth century are approached with the ideas, feelings, prejudices of the tenth (Twentieth Century Quotes)
The skyscraper and the twentieth century are synonymous; the tall building is the landmark of our age.... Shaper of cities and fortunes, it is the dream, past and present, acknowledged or unacknowledged, of almost every architect (Twentieth Century Quotes)
