Man-made fabrics? What provenance do they have? A squirt of gloop into a petri dish? Strands of plastic spun in sterile laboratories? They are but toxins made safe by men in white coats. ~ Fennel Hudson
Modern Clothing quotes by Fennel Hudson
Statements made by distant church bells remind me it is Sunday. Today the sky has become cloudy. I have been watching the clouds and it occurs to me that I have never done this in my life before, simply sit and watch clouds. As a child I would have been far too anxious to 'waste time' in this way. And my mother would have stopped me. As I write this I am sitting on my plot of grass behind the house where I have put a chair, cushions, rugs. It is evening. Thick lumpy slate-blue clouds, their bulges lit up to a lighter blue, move slowly across a sky of muddy and yet brilliant gold, a sort of dulled gilt effect. At the horizon there is a light glittering slightly jagged silver line, like modern jewellery. Beneath it the sea is a live choppy lyrical goldeny-brown, jumping with white flecks. The air is warm. Another happy day. ('Whatever will you do down there?' they asked.)
In a quiet surreptitious way I am feeling very pleased with myself. ~ Iris Murdoch
Modern Clothing quotes by Iris Murdoch
It is an undisputed truth of the modern age that there are now only two kinds of people in the world: people who call and people who text. ~ Lindsey Kelk
Modern Clothing quotes by Lindsey Kelk
A modern girls' school, equipped as scores are now equipped throughout the country, was of course not to be found in 1858, when I first became a school boarder, or in 1867, when I ceased to be one. ~ Mary Augusta Ward
Modern Clothing quotes by Mary Augusta Ward
Gold is not less but more rational than paper money. Money holds value so long as it is in limited supply; gold will always be in limited supply, and would require real resources to produce even from the sea; paper and printing ink are not in limited supply. The gold system is much closer to a modern automatic scientific control system than the crude and relatively unstable system of paper. ~ William E. Rees
Modern Clothing quotes by William E. Rees
People with Books. What, in 2007, could be more incongruous than that? It makes me want to laugh.
[Afterword] ~ Michael Chabon
Modern Clothing quotes by Michael Chabon
Yet it is worth noting that in this example we never witness a complete desacralization of the world, for in the Far East what is called the "esthetic emotion" still retains a religious dimension, even among intellectuals. But the example of the miniature gardens shows us in what direction and by what means the desacralization of the world is accomplished. We need only imagine what an esthetic emotion of this sort could become in a modern society, and we shall understand how the experience of cosmic sanctity can be rarefied and transformed until it becomes a purely human emotion - that, for example, of art for art's sake. ~ Mircea Eliade
Modern Clothing quotes by Mircea Eliade
Oh, the illusion of choice in the modern world - don't get me started. But don't you agree that the Internet has softened our brains and made us forget that 'choice' used to mean something different from selecting options from menus? ~ Lynne Truss
Modern Clothing quotes by Lynne Truss
Committee - a group of men who keep minutes and waste hours. ~ Milton Berle
Modern Clothing quotes by Milton Berle
Was it possible that i was, in the modern term, in denial? ~ Ian McEwan
Modern Clothing quotes by Ian McEwan
People on death row, the treatment of animals, women's right to choose. So much in America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up! This is the modern world! ~ Eddie Vedder
Modern Clothing quotes by Eddie Vedder
In the nineteenth century, cholera struck the most modern, prosperous cities in the world, killing rich and poor alike, from Paris and London to New York City and New Orleans. In 1836, it felled King Charles X in Italy; in 1849, President James Polk in New Orleans; in 1893, the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in St. Petersburg. ~ Sonia Shah
Modern Clothing quotes by Sonia Shah
In a sense, New World conquest was about men seeking a way around one of life's basic rules - that human beings have to work for a living, just like the rest of the animal world. In Peru, as elsewhere in the Americas, Spaniards were not looking for fertile land that they could farm, they were looking for the cessation of their own need to perform manual labor. To do so, they needed to find large enough groups of people they could force to carry out all the laborious tasks necessary to provide them with the essentials of life: food, shelter, clothing, and, ideally, liquid wealth. Conquest, then, had little to do with adventure, but rather had everything to do with groups of men willing to do just about anything in order to avoid working for a living. Stripped down to its barest bones, the conquest of Peru was all about finding a comfortable retirement. ~ Kim MacQuarrie
Modern Clothing quotes by Kim MacQuarrie
Trees are always the cure for your modern bollocks. ~ Kevin Hearne
Modern Clothing quotes by Kevin Hearne
In earlier religions the spirit of the time was expressed through the individual and confirmed by miracles. In modern religions the spirit is expressed through the many and confirmed by reason. ~ Heinrich Heine
Modern Clothing quotes by Heinrich Heine
The last few decades have been marked by a special cultivation of the romance of the future. We seem to have made up our minds to misunderstand what has happened; and we turn, with a sort of relief, to stating what will happen-which is apparently much easier ... The modern mind is forced towards the future by a certain sense of fatigue, not unmixed with terror, with which it regards the past. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Modern Clothing quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
That is why my pictures don't look like modern art. It's some sort of timidity on my part I'm sure. ~ Paula Rego
Modern Clothing quotes by Paula Rego
Generally certain symptoms appear, among them a peculiar use of language: one wants to speak forcefully in order to impress one's opponent, so one employs a special, "bombastic" style full of neologisms which might be described as "power-words." This symptom is observable not only in the psychiatric clinic but also among certain modern philosophers, and, above all, whenever anything unworthy of belief has to be insisted on in the teeth of inner resistance: the language swells up, overreaches itself, sprouts grotesque words distinguished only by their needless complexity. The word is charged with the task of achieving what cannot be done by honest means. ~ C. G. Jung
Modern Clothing quotes by C. G. Jung
I started shedding friends like layers of winter clothing and found that even if I got cold, I would rather build my own damn fire. I was better off without them." I shrug, letting him know that's all there was to it. ~ Claire Contreras
Modern Clothing quotes by Claire Contreras
So where will the children of the future come from? Increasingly they will come from people who are at odds with the modern world. Such a trend, if sustained, could drive human culture off its current market-driven, individualistic, modernist course, gradually creating an anti-market culture dominated by fundamentalism - a new dark ages. ~ Philip Longman
Modern Clothing quotes by Philip Longman
Honest and earnest criticism from those whose interests are most nearly touched,- criticism of writers by readers, of government by those governed, of leaders by those led, - this is the soul of democracy and the safeguard of modern society ~ W.E.B. Du Bois
Modern Clothing quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
A valuable qualification of a modern politician seems to be a capacity for concealing or explaining away the truth ... ~ Dorothy Nevill
Modern Clothing quotes by Dorothy Nevill
Beliefs are personal, but universal truths are above that. For example, the surface temperature of the sun is around 5,505 degrees Celsius – the speed of light is around 300,000 kilometers per second – the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old – modern day chimps are the closest cousins of us humans. These are irrefutable universal truth, regardless of what anyone believes. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Modern Clothing quotes by Abhijit Naskar
The critical method which denies literary modernity would appear - and even, in certain respects, would be - the most modern of critical movements. ~ Paul De Man
Modern Clothing quotes by Paul De Man
Dave's playing and repertoire evokes memories of the golden era of Modern Jazz, and in addition to being a nice guy he happens to be a bebopper of the finest order. ~ Chris Cortez
Modern Clothing quotes by Chris Cortez
Modern Hinduism, modern Jainism, and Buddhism branched off at the same time. For some period, each seemed to have wanted to outdo the others in grotesqueness and humbuggism. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Modern Clothing quotes by Swami Vivekananda
By 1975 - and continuing to today - all Americans came to believe that they had a "right" to a safe, clean, healthy environment. When I grew up, no one seriously criticized the steel mills and paper mills for the deadly stench they produced - that was the smell of prosperity. In the modern society, no one would tolerate such conditions in an American city. ~ Denis Hayes
Modern Clothing quotes by Denis Hayes
MacKenzie grinned at Mim. "They love the modern appliances."
"Especially the electric floor sweeper," Valor chuckled.
"Defiance really has a thing for the vacuum cleaner," MacKenzie agreed in a secretive whisper.
"If he ever has kids, he'll probably name the first one Hoover," Havoc snickered. ~ Taylor Longford
Modern Clothing quotes by Taylor Longford
The vegetarian movement is an ancient movement and is not quite a modern one. ~ Morarji Desai
Modern Clothing quotes by Morarji Desai
No, that's not the style of these people,' explained Maxy. 'You shouldn't think of these Bolsheviks as modern politicians. They were religious fanatics. Their Marxism was fanatical; their fervour was semi-Islamic; and they saw themselves as members of a secret military-religious order like the medieval Crusaders or the Knights Templar. They were ruthless, amoral and paranoid. They believed that millions would have to die to create their perfect world. Family, love and friendship were nothing compared to the holy grail. People died of gossip at Stalin's court. For a man like Satinov, secrecy was everything. ~ Simon Sebag Montefiore
Modern Clothing quotes by Simon Sebag Montefiore
That is why, according to this newer psychology, Christianity has already fulfilled its biological mission, and it is impossible for the modern man to understand its original significance. ~ Muhammad Iqbal
Modern Clothing quotes by Muhammad Iqbal
In the information-communication civilization of the 21st Century, creativity and mental excellence will become the ethical norm. The world will be too dynamic, complex, and diversified, too cross-linked by the global immediacies of modern (quantum) communication, for stability of thought or dependability of behaviour to be successful. ~ Timothy Leary
Modern Clothing quotes by Timothy Leary
Deborah's little house was lavishly decorated in I-have-no-life modern. ~ Jeff Lindsay
Modern Clothing quotes by Jeff Lindsay
Along with planes, running water, electricity, and motorized transportation, the internet is now a fundamental fact of modern life. ~ Danah Boyd
Modern Clothing quotes by Danah Boyd
Those who are conquered," wrote the philosopher Ibn Khaldun in the fourteenth century, "always want to imitate the conqueror in his main characteristics - in his clothing, his crafts, and in all his distinctive traits and customs. ~ Adam Hochschild
Modern Clothing quotes by Adam Hochschild
We will never be truly healthy, satisfied, or fulfilled if we live apart and alienated from the environment from which we evolved.

Birthright: People and Nature in the Modern World ~ Stephen R. Kellert
Modern Clothing quotes by Stephen R. Kellert
Modern formulaic society will try to make you "normal," rushing to call pseudoscientific anything you can do that they can't. ~ Sahara Sanders
Modern Clothing quotes by Sahara Sanders
I had art as a major, along with English, French and History. I had dance, modern dance. In English I was allowed to write my own poetry, which I eventually got published. ~ Sally Kirkland
Modern Clothing quotes by Sally Kirkland
However, the word madda in modern Hebrew specifically means science. ~ Norman Lamm
Modern Clothing quotes by Norman Lamm
You have to take into account it was the cell phone that became what the modern-day concept of a phone call is, and this is a device that's attached to your hip 24/7. Before that there was 'leave a message' and before that there was 'hopefully you're home.' ~ Giovanni Ribisi
Modern Clothing quotes by Giovanni Ribisi
