Loved Yesterday

Famous quotes containing the words loved and/or yesterday:

    He loved strange thought
    And knew that sweet extremity of pride
    That’s called platonic love,
    And that to such a pitch of passion wrought
    Nothing could bring him, when his lady died,
    Anodyne for his love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And what avails it that science has come to treat space and time as simply forms of thought, and the material world as hypothetical, and withal our pretension of property and even of self-hood are fading with the rest, if, at last, even our thoughts are not finalities, but the incessant flowing and ascension reach these also, and each thought which yesterday was a finality, to-day is yielding to a larger generalization?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
