Famous quotes containing the word present:
“The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin’.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the present age, a man with harmonious ideas is regarded as out of touch.”
