Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“It is easy and dismally enervating to think of opposition as merely perverse or actually evil—far more invigorating to see it as essential for honing the mind, and as a positive good in itself. For the day that moral issues cease to be fought over is the day the word “human” disappears from the race.”
—Jill Tweedie (b. 1936)
