Contemporary World Quotes

George Santayana quote: "The contemporary world has turned its back on the attempt and..."
The contemporary world has turned its back on the attempt and even on the desire to live reasonably. George Santayana
The leaders of the future will be those who dare to claim their irrelevance in the contemporary world as a divine vocation... Henri Nouwen
Black males who refuse categorization are rare, for the price of visibility in the contemporary world of white supremacy is that black identity be defined in relation to the stereotype whether by embodying it or seeking to be other than it…Negative stereotypes about the nature of black masculinity continue to overdetermine the identities black males are allowed to fashion for themselves.

But you know in the contemporary art world, you pose a very interesting conundrum. All sorts of people collect very contemporary art, yet when it comes to the music which is analogous to that sort of art, they are not interested, or perhaps even hostile. Michael Tilson Thomas
In this tour around the world I was not interested in contemporary buildings because I had seen contemporary buildings actually until they came out of my ears in a sense. Minoru Yamasaki
I write 'by the seat of my pants.' I love to do research. I am inspired by contemporary writers and contemporary events. I live in the real world. Iris Johansen
But perhaps more important, as someone wishing to make a comment or two about contemporary life and values, I don't have to dig through libraries or travel to exotic lands to arrive at a view of our modern situation refracted through the lens of the preindustrial world, or the uncommercialized, unfranchised, perhaps unsanitized-and therefore supposedly more "authentic"-perspective ofthe Third World. Very simply, this is because that "other" world, as alien as if separated by centuries in... Sidney Poitier
thinking about the misery of the world is a favourite contemporary occupation. and if you can't think the television set will think for you. Iris Murdoch
