Famous quotes containing the words future and/or replacement:

    “It is the future that creates his present.
    All is an interminable chain of longing.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
