Famous quotes related to nineteenth century:

    “The most revolutionary invention of the Nineteenth Century was the artificial sterilization of marriage.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “When I see that the nineteenth century has crowned the idolatry of Art with the deification of Love, so that every poet is supposed to have pierced to the holy of holies when he has announced that Love is the Supreme, or the Enough, or the All, I feel that Art was safer in the hands of the most fanatical of Cromwell’s major generals than it will be if ever it gets into mine.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “If the nineteenth century was the age of the editorial chair, ours is the century of the psychiatrist’s couch.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “American family life has never been particularly idyllic. In the nineteenth century, nearly a quarter of all children experienced the death of one of their parents.... Not until the sixties did the chief cause of separation of parents shift from death to divorce.”
    —Richard Louv (20th century)

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