Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or minutes:
“We Irish, born into that ancient sect
But thrown upon this filthy modern tide
And by its formless spawning fury wrecked,
Climb to our proper dark, that we may trace
The lineaments of a plummet-measured face.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“A new gadget that lasts only five minutes is worth more than an immortal work that bores everyone.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
