Famous quotes containing the word present:
“Uncomprehending when they have heard, they are like the deaf. The saying describes them: though present they are absent.”
—Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
“He to whom the present is the only thing that is present, knows nothing of the age in which he lives.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The land of shadows wilt thou trace
And look nor know each other’s face
The present mixed with reasons gone
And past and present all as one
Say maiden can thy life be led
To join the living with the dead
Then trace thy footsteps on with me
We’re wed to one eternity”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
