Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or period:
“There is one, and only one, thing in modern society more hideous than crime—namely, repressive justice.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“We are in a period when old questions are settled and the new are not yet brought forward. Extreme party action, if continued in such a time, would ruin the party. Moderation is its only chance. The party out of power gains by all partisan conduct of those in power.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
