Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or culture:

    A modern author would have died in infancy in a ruder age.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
