Present Day Peru

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

    When each thing is unique in itself, there can be no comparison made.... There is only this strange recognition of present otherness.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The greatest waste of time he knew of was to count the hours—what good can come of it?—and the greatest illusion in the world, to lead one’s day by the sound of the clock, and not by precepts of common sense and understanding.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    The idea that nations should love one another, or that business concerns or marketing boards should love one another, or that a man in Portugal should love a man in Peru of whom he has never heard—it is absurd, unreal, dangerous.... The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
