Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or president:

    “We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think we’re in the present, but we aren’t. The present we know is only a movie of the past.”
    —Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)

    “When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1992)
