Modern medical advances have helped millions of people live longer, healthier lives. We owe these improvements to decades of investment in medical research
Ike Skelton
Image
My second job has been to try to use my power to create institutions of a modern state that could enter the European Union, and there was very little time. The door was closing, and I wanted to get Bosnia through before it shut.
Paddy Ashdown
Image
Ancient and modern languages teem with happily expressed sentiments of more or less force and beauty, sufficiently individualized and excellent to warrant their reproduction and classification.
Maturin Murray Ballou
Image
In this modern world, the celibacy of the medieval learned class has been replaced by a celibacy of the intellect which is divorced from the concrete contemplation of the complete facts.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
From a Christian perspective, the answer to all of that is not power, as it is in the modern perspective. It's love. It's self-sacrifice. That's what love is all about. The marriage ceremony says it very well: sacrifice is difficult, but love can make it a joy.
Francis George

The Second Amendment has no place in modern society.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
But in all honesty, I would suggest that people who want a modern free OS look around for a microkernel-based, portable OS, like maybe GNU or something like that.
Andrew S. Tanenbaum
Image
The modern version of Buridan's ass [a figurative description of a man of indecision] has a Ph.D., but no time to grow up as he is undecided between making a Leonardo da Vinci in the test tube or planting a Coca Cola sign on Mars.

In the desert you become a discoverer. You discover your soul, which had been submerged in vain pursuits, which had been lost in the coils and toils of modern life. You discover your kinship with nature and man, which is evoked by the naturalness and the gentle humanity of the natives of the desert, and you will also discover God.
Ameen Rihani
Image
the costume of the nineteenth century is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
The model of modern Western civilization is the virus: the pure bit of information, which turns its environment into endless reproductions of itself.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
I was very prejudiced when I started arts school. I, like all of those kids, was like, I don't like this modern stuff. I came to arts school with a very stupid, conservative set of ideas about art.
Ragnar Kjartansson
Image
I'm gonna put all my money into taxes. They're sure to go up.
Sam Levenson
Image
Asbestos, EMFs, and CFCs have given us a degree of humility. When yesterday's triumph of modern chemistry turns out instead to be today's deadly threat to the global environment, it is legitimate to ask what else we don't know.
Denis Hayes
Image
...if you think of modern art like sex in all its forms - heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual, multipartnered, bestial, whatever, with absolutely no holds barred and with everything available and permissible - that would be modern art.
Eve Arnold
Image
I view Witchcraft as a religion that has evolved over the centuries. I do not consider Witchcraft to be a modern invention. Instead I deal with it in my writings as a Mystery Tradition with long roots to the past. It has always been my position that we don't need an ancient tradition in order to be validated. We just happen to have one.
Raven Grimassi
Image
Modern man lives more and more in a preponderantly geometric order. All human creation mechanical or industrial is dependent upon geometric intentions.
Fernand Leger
Image
The human heart as modern civilization has made it is more prone to hatred than to friendship. And it is prone to hatred because it is dissatisfied.
Bertrand Russell
Image
People are now layering all kinds of different things together. Eighteenth century, 19th century, rustic, modern. Three dimensional printed pieces, very high end technological pieces, but mixed with local artisan stuff.
Sebastian Clovis
Image
The primary aim of modern warfare ... is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living.
George Orwell
Image
Growing up closes so many doors. The modern world doesn't allow for miracles, so we don't see them. It's a very precious gift, an open mind, but it's not passive. You've got to nurture it like a bed of roses otherwise it will wither and die. Make sure you don't close off your mind to things you find strange. Sometimes they may be the only truth.
Tim Lebbon
Image
In this post-modern culture in which we live - where people question absolute truth - stories are resistant to platitudes they're resistant to me making declarations of truth to them. A story can do that in kind of a Trojan-horse fashion.
Max Lucado
Image
An unhurried mind brings the capacity to make wise choices every day - choices of how we use our time, of where we place our resources and our love. I am not just talking about avoiding the rat race, but about a life full of an artistic beauty - a life that has almost vanished from modern civilization, but is quite within the reach of everyone.
