Famous quotes containing the words side and/or projects:
“I dare take the side of humanity against this sublime misanthrope.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
