Famous quotes containing the words modern, grand and/or action:

    Civilization is a conspiracy.... Modern life is the silent compact of comfortable folk to keep up pretences.
    John Buchan (1875–1940)

    That grand drama in a hundred acts, which is reserved for the next two centuries of Europe—the most terrible, most questionable and perhaps also the most hopeful of all dramas.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    All real freedom springs from necessity, for it can be gained only through the exercise of the individual will, and that will can be roused to energetic action only by the force of necessity acting upon it from the outside to spur it to effort.
    Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
