Famous quotes containing the words present, day and/or discoveries:

    “James Joyce is the new Euphues: the melting pot of the language and of present literary idiom and banality.”
    —Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    “The day is not purer than the depths of my heart.”
    —Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    “Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your “emancipation.” You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields—discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West—superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.”
    —Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
