Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or history:

    The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has streched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    History takes time.... History makes memory.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
