Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“All futurity
Seems teeming with endless destruction never to be repelled;
Desperate remorse swallows the present in a quenchless rage.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“It is thus that the few rare lucid well-disposed people who have had to struggle on the earth find themselves at certain hours of the day or night in the depth of certain authentic and waking nightmare states, surrounded by the formidable suction, the formidable tentacular oppression of a kind of civic magic which will soon be seen appearing openly in social behavior.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
