Famous quotes containing the word today:
“The late Président de Montesquieu told me that he knew how to be blind—he had been so for such a long time—but I swear that I do not know how to be deaf: I cannot get used to it, and I am as humiliated and distressed by it today as I was during the first week. No philosophy in the world can palliate deafness.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.”
—Alice Paul (1885–1977)
