Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or popular:

    The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.
    Charles James Fox (1749–1806)
