Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“All day I’d looked in the face
What I had hoped ‘twould be
To write for my own race
And the reality;”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
