Famous quotes containing the words current and/or tests:

    “Our current obsession with creativity is the result of our continued striving for immortality in an era when most people no longer believe in an after-life.”
    —Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)

    “Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
    And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,
    Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
    I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!”
    —Claude McKay (1889–1948)
