Famous quotes containing the words present and/or sui:
“When winter snows upon thy sable hairs,
And frost of age hath nipped thy beauties near;
When dark shall seem thy day that never clears,
And all lies withered that was held so dear,
Then take this picture which I here present thee,
Limned with a pencil not all unworthy;”
—Samuel Daniel (15621619)
“Moralistic is not moral. And as for truthwell, its like brownits not in the spectrum.... Truth is sui generis.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
