Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or day:
“All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysands to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Oh, a day in the city-square, there is no such pleasure in life!”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
