Famous quotes containing the words present and/or time:

    We look at the present through a rear-view mirror. We march backwards into the future. Suburbia lives imaginatively in Bonanza-land.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    Every time I get happy

    a wind turns into a tracheotomy,
    a boat turns into a corpse....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
