I am a child of the 21st century.
Nostalgia for the 20th century brain helps nobody.
Salute to the Smiling Faces of the 21st Century.
Spending time on 18th-century ships in Tahiti when I was 17 was quite unusual.
Human beings have speculated about the relationship between inspiration and insanity for centuries.
Polygraph tests are 20th-century witchcraft.
