Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or politics:

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

    While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
