Famous quotes containing the words future and/or importance:

    “Dark times” is what they call it in Norway when the sun remains below the horizon all day long: the temperature falls slowly but surely at such times.—A nice metaphor for all those thinkers for whom the sun of mankind’s future has temporarily disappeared.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Any novel of importance has a purpose. If only the “purpose” be large enough, and not at outs with the passional inspiration.
