Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:

    I don’t see America as a mainland, but as a sea, a big ocean. Sometimes a storm arises, a formidable current develops, and it seems it will engulf everything. Wait a moment, another current will appear and bring the first one to naught.
    Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)

    As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.
    Clive James (b. 1939)
