Famous quotes containing the word nowadays:
“We rarely quote nowadays to appeal to authority ... though we quote sometimes to display our sapience and erudition. Some authors we quote against. Some we quote not at all, offering them our scrupulous avoidance, and so make them part of our “white mythology.” Other authors we constantly invoke, chanting their names in cerebral rituals of propitiation or ancestor worship.”
—Ihab Hassan (b. 1925)
“Were anyone nowadays to venture to say, “Whoever is not for me is against me,” he would immediately have everyone against him. MThis sentiment does credit to our times.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Everyone nowadays lives through too much and thinks through too little: they have a ravenous appetite and colic at the same time so that they keep getting thinner and thinner no matter how much they eat.—Whoever says nowadays, “I have not experienced anything”—is a simpleton.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
