Famous quotes containing the words day and/or times:
“But each day brings its petty dust
Our soon-choked souls to fill,
And we forget because we must,
And not because we will.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“Measured by any standard known to science—by horse-power, calories, volts, mass in any shape,—the tension and vibration and volume and so-called progression of society were full a thousand times greater in 1900 than in 1800;Mthe force had doubled ten times over, and the speed, when measured by electrical standards as in telegraphy, approached infinity, and had annihilated both space and time. No law of material movement applied to it.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
