Famous quotes containing the word today:
“If today I stand here as a revolutionary, it is as a revolutionary against the Revolution.”
—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
“It makes worries like what you wear today seem stupid.”
—Rebecca Neel (b. c. 1981)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
