Present Danger

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or danger:

“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“There is danger that we lose sight of what our friend is absolutely, while considering what she is to us alone.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
