Famous quotes containing the word modern:

    Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.
    Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)

    The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
