Famous quotes containing the words modern, literary and/or societies:

    “There are moments when, faced with our lack of success, I wonder whether we are failures, proud but impotent. One thing reassures me as to our value: the boredom that afflicts us. It is the hall-mark of quality in modern men.”
    —Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    “First literature came to refer only to itself, the literary theory.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.”
    —Guy Debord (b. 1931)
