Famous quotes containing the words present and/or activities:
“All futurity
Seems teeming with endless destruction never to be repelled;
Desperate remorse swallows the present in a quenchless rage.”

“The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.”
