Modern Life Quotes (page 2)

IQ in general has improved since tests first began. Psychologists think that this is because modern life becomes ever more complicated. A. N. Wilson
True as this is, it is also true that for one who won through there were many who gained nothing, and it was, and is, the sheer weight of numbers of those who failed of this that has made their influence on the modern life as pervasive and controlling as it is. Ralph A. Cram
Oscar Wilde quote: "In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good..."
In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin. Oscar Wilde
Robert Casey quote: "However, we might oppose it, abortion is a sad feature of..."
However, we might oppose it, abortion is a sad feature of modern life. Robert Casey
John Buchan quote: "Civilization is a conspiracy. Modern life is the silent..."
Civilization is a conspiracy. Modern life is the silent compact of comfortable folk to keep up pretences. John Buchan
Jessica Savitch quote: "A fact of modern life is that it takes women longer to get..."
A fact of modern life is that it takes women longer to get ready than men. Jessica Savitch
In a funny way, poems are suited to modern life. They're short, they're intense. Nobody has time to read a 700-page book. People read magazines, and a poem takes less time than an article. Caroline Kennedy
Modern man has transformed himself into a commodity; he experiences his life energy as an investment with which he should make the highest profit, considering his position and the situation on the personality market. He is alienated from himself, from his fellow men and from nature. His main aim is profitable exchange of his skills, knowledge, and of himself, his "personality package" with others who are equally intent on a fair and profitable exchange. Life has no goal except the one to... Erich Fromm
Modern romance, like Greek tragedy, celebrates the mystery of dismemberment, which is life in time. The happy ending is justly scorned as a misrepresentation; for the world, as we know it, as we have seen it, yields but one ending: death, disintegration, dismemberment, and the crucifixion of our heart with the passing of the forms that we have loved. Joseph Campbell
Modern formulations are necessary even in defense of very ancient truths. Not because of any alleged anachronism in the old ideas? the Beatitudes remain the essential statements of the Western code? but because the idiom of life is always changing William F. Buckley, Jr.
Robert Lanza quote: "Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are..."
Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist. Robert Lanza
The truth is that the life-purpose of Jesus discovered by modern liberalism is not the life purpose of the real Jesus, but merely represents those elements in the teaching of Jesus--isolated and misinterpreted--which happen to agree with the modern program. It is not Jesus, then, who is the real authority, but the modern principle by which the selection within Jesus' recorded teaching has been made. Certain isolated ethical principles of the Sermon on the Mount are accepted, not at all... John Gresham Machen
It would have been impossible for me to have told anyone what I derived from these novels, for it was nothing less than than a sense of life itself. All my life had shaped me for the realism, the maturalism of the modern novel, and I could not read enough of them. Richard Wright
The modern meaning of life's end-when does it end? How does it end? How should it end? What is the value of life? How do we measure it? Don DeLillo
There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better. Oscar Wilde
