Famous quotes containing the words current and/or strength:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“But I must bear my destiny as best I can, knowing well that there is no resisting the strength of necessity.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
