The curse of modern times is the propensity of male hormones in places where they can do the most damage

Robert James Waller

I think you don't do work for controversy alone, and whenever you do new work which people don't understand and they say it is done to create controversy.

M. F. Husain

The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, sometimes one forgets which it is.

E. F. Schumacher

Canonization in modern times is a very, almost scientific process.

Chris Matthews

Any messages for me?" Usually I got one or two, but mostly people who wanted my help preferred to talk in person. "Yes. Hold on." She pulled out a handful of pink tickets and recited from memory, without checking the paper. "Seven forty-two a.m., Mr. Gasparian: I curse you. I curse your arms so they wither and die and fall off your body. I curse your eyeballs to explode. I curse your feet to swell until blue. I curse your spine to crack. I curse you. I curse you. I curse you.

Unlike modern military codes, ancient texts are almost never purposely misleading, purposely scrambled. ... indeed, literacy was so uncommon until classical times that the very writing of a message sufficed to keep it from almost everybody.

E. J. W. Barber

Gossip is never fatal until it is denied. Gossip goes on about every human being alive and about all the dead that are alive enough to be remembered, and yet almost never does any harm until some defender makes a controversy.

Myron Scholes

Great people aren't those who are happy at times of convienience and content, but of how they are in times of catastrophy and controversy.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Robert James Waller

A modern mathematical proof is not very different from a modern machine, or a modern test setup: the simple fundamental principles are hidden and almost invisible under a mass of technical details.

Hermann Weyl

It is a Modern day, and these times need Modern solutions to Modern problems.

Corin Nemec

I don't go out of the way to create controversies, I know some actresses pay their publicist money to create a controversy, but I don't know why this happens to me.

Payal Rohatgi

I don't know how many modern families watch 'Modern Family,' but then one of the points of 'Modern Family' is that it's hard to tell what a modern family is anymore, let alone what it does.

Steve Erickson

If I create with my heart almost all my intentions remain. If it is with the head - almost nothing. An artist must not fear to be himself, to express only himself. If he is absolutely and entirely sincere, what he says and does will be acceptable to others.

Marc Chagall
