Famous quotes containing the words form, present and/or day:
“Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The new man is born too old to tolerate the new world. The present conditions of life have not yet erased the traces of the past. We run too fast, but we still do not move enough.... He looks but he does not contemplate, he sees but he does not think. He runs away from time, which is made of thought, and yet all he can feel is his own time, the present.”
—Eugenio Montale (1896–1981)
“Man’s last day must ever be awaited and none to be
counted happy until his death, until his last funeral rites
are paid.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
