Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or innovations:
“In the deeper layers of the modern consciousness ... every attempt to succeed is an act of aggression, leaving one alone and guilty and defenseless among enemies: one is punished for success. This is our intolerable dilemma: that failure is a kind of death and success is evil and dangerous, is—ultimately—impossible.”
—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)
“Great innovations should not be forced on slender majorities.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
