Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or usage:
“It is only the modern that ever becomes old-fashioned.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
