Famous quotes containing the words current and/or situation:

    “For me, Romanticism is the most recent and the most current expression of beauty.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “It is necessary to turn political crisis into armed crisis by performing violent actions that will force those in power to transform the military situation into a political situation. That will alienate the masses, who, from then on, will revolt against the army and the police and blame them for this state of things.”
    —Carlos Marighella (d. 1969)
