Famous quotes containing the word present:

    “An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Present mirth hath present laughter
    What’s to come is still unsure.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “When the cross blue lightning seemed to open
    The breast of heaven, I did present myself
    Even in the aim and very flash of it.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
