Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or application:

    “Primitivism has become the vulgar cliché of much modern art and speculation.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.”
    —Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
