Famous quotes containing the word modern:

    “The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa—slightly off balance.”
    —Prince Charles (b. 1948)

    “The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
