Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or usage:

    This strange disease of modern life,
    With its sick hurry, its divided aims.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    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)
