Modern Calendar

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or calendar:

“There is one, and only one, thing in modern society more hideous than crime—namely, repressive justice.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
