Famous quotes containing the words present and/or danger:
“In the present state we are in, we find such a strong sympathy and union between our souls and bodies, that the one cannot be touched or sensibly affected, without producing some corresponding emotion in the other.... We are not angels, but men cloathed with bodies, and, in some measure governed by our imaginations.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“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)
