Famous quotes containing the words twentieth century, romantic, period and/or twentieth:

    “... the nineteenth century believed in science but the twentieth century does not. Not.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “You can be as romantic as you please about love, Hector; but you mustn’t be romantic about money.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “We are in a period when old questions are settled and the new are not yet brought forward. Extreme party action, if continued in such a time, would ruin the party. Moderation is its only chance. The party out of power gains by all partisan conduct of those in power.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “War is bestowed like electroshock on the depressive nation; thousands of volts jolting the system, an artificial galvanizing, one effect of which is loss of memory. War comes at the end of the twentieth century as absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to “feel good” about themselves, their country, is a measure of that failure.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
