It is time to reassess what has happened in the 20th century, and to look at it with a longer lens.
Morris, Mixmaster
The greatest playwright of the 20th century.
Miller, Arthur
Something traumatic happened to me when I was younger. I was with this old black woman, and she was very wise, very Alice Walker, The Color Purple... She looked at me and she says, "Baby...you know I used to be able to fly but I can't fly no more, baby. But baby, you...? You too fat to fly."
Margaret Cho
I intend to be buried here—in the 20th century!
Crawford, Joan
We were wise indeed, could we discern truly the signs of our own time; and by knowledge of its wants and advantages, wisely adjust our own position in it. Let us, instead of gazing idly into the obscure distance, look calmly around us, for a little, on the perplexed scene where we stand. Perhaps, on a more serious inspection, something of its perplexity will disappear, some of its distinctive characters and deeper tendencies more clearly reveal themselves; whereby our own relations to it, our own true aims and endeavors in it, may also become clearer.
Carlyle, Thomas
In the 20th century, specialisation has become the counterfeit of brilliance.
Richard Gordon
"Mr. Franz, I think careers are a 20th century invention and I don't want one."
McCandless, Christopher
Douglas MacArthur was the last great 19th century soldier, while George Marshall was the first great 20th century soldier.
Marshall, George
The mass political movements of the 20th century were vehicles for myths inherited from religion, and it is no accident that religion is reviving now that these movements have collapsed.
Gray, John N.
The marriage of reason and nightmare which has dominated the 20th century has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world. Across the communications landscape move the specters of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy. Thermonuclear weapons systems and soft drink commercials coexist in an overlit realm ruled by advertising and pseudo-events, science and pornography. Over our lives preside the great twin leitmotifs of the 20th century -- sex and paranoia.
Ballard, J. G.
