Sal%c3%b2 or The 120 Days of Sodom/versions

Famous quotes containing the words days, sodom and/or versions:

    There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 10:15.

    The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
    Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
