Modern Spoken Manchu

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or spoken:

“Primitivism has become the vulgar cliché of much modern art and speculation.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
