Famous quotes containing the word today:
“To the degree that respect for professors ... has risen in our society, respect for writers has fallen. Today the professorial intellect has achieved its highest public standing since the world began, while writers have come to be called “men of letters,” by which is meant people who are prevented by some obscure infirmity from becoming competent journalists.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“... today ... photographers prefer disfigurement to adornment. It is now chic to do your worst to people.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 23:43.
