“Wise and prudent men - intelligent conservatives - have long known that in a changing world worthy institutions can be conserved only by adjusting them to the changing time

” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

The restlessness approached hysteria. The parties were bigger. The pace was faster,

--F. Scott Fitzgerald

New Culture

"[The flapper] symbolized an age anxious to enjoy itself, anxious to forget the past, anxious to ignore the future.“ - from Jacques Chastenet, "Europe in the

Twenties" in Purnell's History of the Twentieth Century
