Famous quotes containing the words current and/or thread:
“I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“One sought not absolute truth. One sought only a spool on which to wind the thread of history without breaking it.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
