Famous quotes containing the words present, day and/or north:

“Jesus wept; Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization.”

“So foul and fair a day I have not seen.”

“When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionally—as well as providing infinitely more vivid viewing—if the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
