To Be Modern

Nicolás Gómez Dávila (1913-1994), Escolios a un Texto Implicito, II (Bogotá: Instituto Colombiano de Cultura, 1977), p. 208 (my translation):
To be modern is not to have overcome the problems of yesterday, it is to think that you have.

Ser moderno no es haber superado los problemas de ayer, es creer haberlos superado.
