Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or schools:

    Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
