Modern Paradoxes
The paradox of our
time in history is
that we have taller
buildings but
shorter tempers,
We build more
computers to
hold more
information, but
we communicate
with each other
less and less.
We have more
possessions, but
fewer values.
We are now long
on quantity, but
short on quality
