Famous quotes containing the words modern, indian and/or languages:

    “Much of the modern resistance to chastity comes from men’s belief that they “own” their bodies—those vast and perilous estates, pulsating with the energy that made the worlds, in which they find themselves without their consent and from which they are ejected at the pleasure of Another!”
    —C.S. (Clive Staples)

    “It will soon be forgotten, in these days of stoves, that we used to roast potatoes in the ashes, after the Indian fashion.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “People in places many of us never heard of, whose names we can’t pronounce or even spell, are speaking up for themselves. They speak in languages we once classified as “exotic” but whose mastery is now essential for our diplomats and businessmen. But what they say is very much the same the world over. They want a decent standard of living. They want human dignity and a voice in their own futures. They want their children to grow up strong and healthy and free.”
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
