Famous quotes containing the words early, modern and/or period:

    “Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.”
    —Murray Bookchin (b. 1941)

    “Chaucer is fresh and modern still, and no dust settles on his true passages. It lightens along the line, and we are reminded that flowers have bloomed, and birds sung, and hearts beaten in England. Before the earnest gaze of the reader, the rust and moss of time gradually drop off, and the original green life is revealed. He was a homely and domestic man, and did breathe quite as modern men do.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There is a period in the history of the individual, as of the race, when the hunters are the “best men,” as the Algonquins called them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
