Famous quotes containing the words current, future and/or research:

    Beneath the azure current floweth;
    Above, the golden sunlight glows.
    Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
    As if the storms could give repose.
    Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841)

    Captain Hank Quinlan: C’mon, read my future for me.
    Tanya: You haven’t got any.
    Captain Hank Quinlan: Hmmm. Whadya mean?
    Tanya: Your future is all used up.
    Orson Welles (1915–1985)

    Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.
    Bettina Arndt (20th century)
