Famous quotes containing the words century and/or contemporary:
“For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
“This socialism will develop in all its phases until it reaches its own extremes and absurdities. Then once again a cry of denial will break from the titanic chest of the revolutionary minority and again a mortal struggle will begin, in which socialism will play the role of contemporary conservatism and will be overwhelmed in the subsequent revolution, as yet unknown to us.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
