«Sin has always been an ugly word, but it has been made so in a new sense over the last half-century. It has been made not only ugly but pass?. People are no longer sinful, they are only immature or underprivileged or frightened or, more particularly, sick.»

Author: Phyllis McGinley | Keywords: frightened, half-century, immature, last century, last half, sinful, underprivileged

«At no previous period has mankind been faced by a half-century which so paradoxically united violence and progress. Its greater and lesser wars and long series of major assassinations have been strangely combined with the liberation of more societies and individuals than ever before in history, and by the transformation of millions of second-class citizens -- women, workers and the members of subject races -- to a stage at which first-rate achievement is no longer inhibited even if opportunities are not yet complete.»

Author: Vera Brittain (Mary) (Writer) | Keywords: assassinations, class war, first period, half-century, inhibit, inhibited, inhibits, paradoxically, second class, second period, strangely
