“With drama, especially, it seems like the bigger the budgets and the edgier the characters, the more interesting they are. We're very lucky because 'Modern Family' wouldn't fit on cable: they'd want us to push it more and be edgier and turn it into something that it's not.” WantCharacterSeemsTurnsInterestingModernFitDramaLuckyBiggerBudgetsWant UCablesModern Family Author:Steven Levitan

“Love in modern times has been the tailor's best friend. Every suitor of the nineteenth century spends more than his spare cash on personal adornment.

“Procrustes in modern dress, the nuclear scientist will prepare the bed on which mankind must lie; and if mankind doesn’t fit—well, that will be just too bad for mankind. There will have to be some stretching and a bit of amputation—the same sort of stretching and amputations as have been going on ever since applied science really got going into its stride, only this time they will be a good deal more drastic than in the past. These far from painless operations will be directed by highly centralized totalitarian governments.” IfsWellsHas BeensGovernmentPastLyingBitsDealsModernMankindFitBedScientistDressesNuclearOperationsStretchingStrideDrasticPainlessApplied ScienceAmputationTotalitarian Government Author:Aldous Huxley
“I think my books give people a language to have a conversation about God that's not religious. There isn't enough new literature that brings the conversation of God into a modern context. I love the Bible, but in the West we've analyzed it until it fits into a structure of control. We need more new stories. We need different ways of looking at things, and I think it's coming.” PeopleThinkingWayNeedsGivingBookDifferentEnoughStoriesLiteratureLanguageReligiousModernFitConversationStructureWestDifferent Ways Author:William P.

“Into the cultural and technological system of the modern world, the patriotic spirit fits like dust in the eyes and sand in the bearings.

“While I was drawn to the Renaissance, my first (unpublished) novels took place in modern times. When the subject of alchemy started creeping into my stories, an astute mentor observed that the bits about alchemy might fit better in another time frame. When I finally decided to weave the pieces about the medieval science into historical settings, a successful novel began to emerge. (And I dusted off that art history book, and put it to use once again.)” FirstsArtBookStoriesUseMightBitsNovelSuccessfulPiecesModernSubjectsFitDecidedHistoricalSettingSettingsMentorMedievalRenaissanceAlchemyArt HistoryHistory BooksModern TimesAnother TimeAstute Author:Mary Pope Osborne
