Famous quotes containing the words the present, present and/or time:
“The past is only the present become invisible and mute; and because it is invisible and mute, its memoried glances and its murmurs are infinitely precious. We are tomorrow’s past.”
—Mary Webb (1881–1927)
“Public morning diversions were the last dissipating habit she obtained; but when that was accomplished, her time was squandered away, the power of reflection was lost, [and] her ideas were all centered in dress, drums, routs, operas, masquerades, and every kind of public diversion. Visionary schemes of pleasure were continually present to her imagination, and her brain was whirled about by such a dizziness that she might properly be said to labor under the distemper called the vertigo.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Kringelein: I’m going to live. I’m going to have a good time while I can.
The Baron: That’s my motto, Kringelein. A short life and a gay one.”
—William A. Drake (1900–1965)
