Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“Oh! what a poor thing is human life in its best enjoyments!—subjected to imaginary evils when it has no real ones to disturb it! and that can be made as effectually unhappy by its apprehensions of remote contingencies as if it was struggling with the pains of a present distress!”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“The day of the absolute is over, and we’re in for the strange gods once more.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
