Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or literature:
“O born in days when wits were fresh and clear,
And life ran gaily as the sparkling Thames;
Before this strange disease of modern life,
With its sick hurry, its divided aims,
Its head o’ertaxed, its palsied hearts, was rife—”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate.”
