Famous quotes containing the words present and/or sui:

    The consciousness of the falsity of present pleasures, and the ignorance of the vanity of absent pleasures, cause inconstancy.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Moralistic is not moral. And as for truth—well, it’s like brown—it’s not in the spectrum.... Truth is sui generis.
    Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
