Georg Simmel on modern life – quote

“The deepest problems of modern life flow from the attempt of the individual to maintain the independence and individuality of his existence against the sovereign powers of society, against the weight of historical heritage and the external culture and technique of life.”
– The Metropolis and Mental Life, Georg Simmel (1903)
