Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or man:

    “The modern state no longer has anything but rights; it does not recognize duties any more.”
    —Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

    “The American people is out to get the kaiser. We are bending every nerve and every energy towards that end; anybody who gets in the way of the great machine the energy and devotion of a hundred million patriots is building towards the stainless purpose of saving civilization from the Huns will be mashed like a fly. I’m surprised that a collegebred man like you hasn’t more sense. Don’t monkey with the buzzsaw.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
