Famous quotes containing the words awareness and/or day:
“It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“However, the danger in [socially unbalanced relationships] is that the subjection of the woman temporarily calms the man’s jealousy but also renders it more demanding. He ends up making his mistress live like those prisoners on whom light is shone day and night in order for them to be better watched. And things always end in tragedy.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
