Famous quotes containing the word today:

    I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.
    Orson Welles (1915–1984)

    This is Wall Street, and today is important. Because tomorrow, July 4th, I intended to make my first million dollars—an exciting day in a man’s life. The enterprise was slightly illegal.
    Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)

    If today I stand here as a revolutionary, it is as a revolutionary against the Revolution.
    Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
