Modern Societies

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or societies:

    The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    In countries where associations are free, secret societies are unknown. In America there are factions, but no conspiracies.
