Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or usage:

    The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.

    Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
