Modern Swing

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or swing:

    Grief that is dazed and speechless is out of fashion: the modern woman mourns her husband loudly and tells you the whole story of his death, which distresses her so much that she forgets not the slightest detail about it.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

    A just thinker will allow full swing to his skepticism. I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I am not afraid of falling into my inkpot.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
