Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or society:
“Most modern reproducers of life, even including the camera, really repudiate it. We gulp down evil, choke at good.”

“A society which allows an abominable event to burgeon from its dungheap and grow on its surface is like a man who lets a fly crawl unheeded across his face or saliva dribble unstemmed from his mouth—either epileptic or dead.”
