Modern Society

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or society:

    Men must speak English who can write Sanskrit; they must speak a modern language who write, perchance, an ancient and universal one.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Currently, U.S. society has been encouraged by its political and subsidized mass-media intelligentsia to view U.S. life as a continual “morning in America” paradise, where the only social problems occur in the inner cities. Psychologists call this denial.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
