Famous quotes related to twentieth century:
“Predatory capitalism created a complex industrial system and an advanced technology; it permitted a considerable extension of democratic practice and fostered certain liberal values, but within limits that are now being pressed and must be overcome. It is not a fit system for the mid- twentieth century.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“In the twentieth century one of the most personal relationships to have developed is that of the person and the state.... It’s become a fact of life that governments have become very intimate with people, most always to their detriment.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The real passion of the twentieth century is servitude.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)

—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
