Famous quotes containing the word modern:
“The uselessness and expensiveness of modern women multiply bachelors.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“There is one, and only one, thing in modern society more hideous than crime—namely, repressive justice.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
