Famous quotes containing the words modern, literary and/or societies:

    “A turning point in modern history.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre, and installed instead, as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise—nobody need read it, but anybody can do it.”
    —Marilyn Hacker (b. 1942)

    “There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. This is what the West has done with its colonial system. It shook all the societies in the world loose from their old moorings. But it seems indifferent whether or not they reach safe harbour in the end.”
    —Barbara Ward (1914–1981)
