Famous quotes related to nineteenth century:

    “The nineteenth century is a turning point in history, simply on account of the work of two men, Darwin and Renan, the one the critic of the Book of Nature, the other the critic of the books of God. Not to recognise this is to miss the meaning of one of the most important eras in the progress of the world.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “The taste for freedom, the fashion and cult of happiness of the majority, that the nineteenth century is infatuated with was only a heresy in his eyes that would pass like others.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    “... the nineteenth century believed in science but the twentieth century does not. Not.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “Of the creative spirits that flourished in Concord, Massachusetts, during the middle of the nineteenth century, it might be said that Hawthorne loved men but felt estranged from them, Emerson loved ideas even more than men, and Thoreau loved himself.”
    —Leon Edel (b. 1907)

    “Well, well, Henry James is pretty good, though he is of the nineteenth century, and that glaringly.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
