Modern Swing

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or swing:

“The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

“The bells, I say, the bells break down their tower;
And swing I know not where.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
