Quotes

There had always been innovation; no generation had passed
without novelties. Now change became the nature of life,
novelty a part of the normal diet, served by institutions
like the press and nes agencies -- dedicated to it, or to 
its invention when in short supply: The Fin de Siécle is the
age of material novelties, of news, of faits dives,
nouvelles à sensation -- of scoops and beats and 
bulletins, newsbriefs and sensational tidings; the 
time when fashions in dress, politics, or the arts --
became clearly defined as being made to pass away: 
Change for the sake of change.
