Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or school:

    “The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied ... but written off as trash. The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “Green, green is El Aghir. It has a railway station,
    And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:
    A mairie, a school and an elegant Salle de Fetes.
    Such blessings, as I remarked, in effect, to the waiter,
    Are added unto them that have plenty of water.”
    —Norman Cameron (b. 1905)
