The world, every day, is New. Only for those born in, say, 1870 or so, can there be a meaningful use of the term postmodernism, because for the rest of us we are born and we see and from what we see and digest we remake our world. And to understand it we do not need to label it, categorize it. These labels are slothful and dismissive, and so contradict what we already know about the world, and our daily lives. We know that in each day, we laugh, and we are serious. We do both, in the same day, every day. But in our art we expect clear distinction between the two.. But we don't label our days Serious Days or Humorous Days. We know that each day contains endless nuances - if written would contain dozens of disparate passages, funny ones, sad ones, poignant ones, brutal ones, the terrifying and the cuddly. But we are often loathe to allow this in our art. And that is too bad.. Dave Eggers
About This Quote

The world as we know it has changed a lot as time goes by. In the beginning, people think that they can define themselves as a certain type of person, but as time goes by they realize that there are so many different types of people. The world is changing so much and so quickly and we cannot predict what will happen to the world. We should be more open-minded and embrace the changes that happen every day.
