Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or walls:
“Perhaps a modern society can remain stable only by eliminating adolescence, by giving its young, from the age of ten, the skills, responsibilities, and rewards of grownups, and opportunities for action in all spheres of life. Adolescence should be a time of useful action, while book learning and scholarship should be a preoccupation of adults.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The walls that fence our fields, as well as modern Rome, and not less the Parthenon itself, are all built of ruins.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
