Famous quotes containing the words current and/or strength:
“I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
““You’ll have me over the cliff,” he exclaimed hardly ever yet putting out his strength against her.
“And so I will, by the help of God. Now think of her! Now think of her!” And as she spoke she pressed him backwards towards his fall.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
