Famous quotes containing the words modern man, modern and/or man:

    “Women have acquired equal place to man in society, but the double standard has really never been relinquished; certainly not by men. Modern man’s fear of passivity or of the active woman proves to be as eternal as modern woman’s struggle to come to terms with her femininity.”
    —Peter Blos (20th century)

    “Primitivism has become the vulgar cliché of much modern art and speculation.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
