the 21st century QUOTES

23 " You know it’s the 21st Century when someone TEXTS you from the washroom to ask you to bring them a roll of toilet paper. "

― Tanya Masse

24 " Whether or not people go into space or serve the space industry, they will have the sensitivity to those fields necessary to stimulate unending innovation in the technological fields, and it's that innovation in the 21st century that will drive tomorrow's economies. "

25 " We know that to compete for the jobs of the 21st century and thrive in a global economy, we need a growing, skilled and educated workforce, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math. Americans with bachelor's degrees have half the unemployment rate of those with a high school degree. "

26 " How any government could promote the Vardy academies in the North-East of England is absolutely beyond me. Tony Blair defends them on grounds of diversity, but it should be unthinkable in the 21st century to have a school whose head of science believes the world is less than 10,000 years old. "

27 " I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature, but we have to. It's an emergency. "

28 " I founded a club, which is called the Brutally Early Club. It's basically a breakfast salon for the 21st century where art meets science meets architecture meets literature. "

29 " The 20th century is a period defined by cultural and artistic movements. However, the 21st century creative-scape that we occupy now doesn't really have movements in the same way. Instead it's made up of diverse individuals working across various platforms simultaneously; art, architecture, film, music and literature. "

30 " We must educate and train our children to compete and succeed in the 21st century. Our kids are not going to grow up to compete with children in Alabama or Mississippi. They're going to grow up to compete with kids in India, and China, all over the world; children who are learning to compete and succeed in the 21st century themselves. "

31 " The Finland of the 21st century can thrive only if women of learning - in common with their male counterparts - are guaranteed the opportunity to use their creative potential to the full. "

32 " In the 21st century our tastes buds, our brain chemistry, our biochemistry, our hormones and our kitchens have been hijacked by the food industry. "

33 " I firmly believe that the mission of religion in the 21st century must be to contribute concretely to the peaceful coexistence of humankind. "

34 " President Bush has shown great leadership. He has said that the 21st century will not be ruled or dictated by terrorists, dictators, and murderers. He is absolutely right. God bless him for his resolve. "

35 " I think it is something that is so important, to be very aware of the direction in which the 21st century is going with all this blind faith in democracy. And by the way, I am not against democracy - I am against the blind faith that is being put in democracy. "

36 " The debate that I'm interested in having is with seriously smart people about how we design institutions in the 21st century that will genuinely address problems of poverty and educational underachievement. "

37 " Participatory complexity may well be the key descriptor of the 21st century - in our economies, in our politics, and in our everyday lives. "

38 " Communism is a monopolistic system, economically and politically. The system suppresses individual initiative, and the 21st century is all about individualism and freedom. The development of technology supported these directions. "

39 " Investing in industries and technology for the 21st century generates high-skilled, high-wage jobs for industries of the future. "

40 " The great paradox of the 21st century is that, in this age of powerful technology, the biggest problems we face internationally are problems of the human soul. "
