Famous quotes containing the word modern:
“Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“It is only the modern that ever becomes old-fashioned.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
