Famous quotes containing the words present, day and/or peru:
“Uncomprehending when they have heard, they are like the deaf. The saying describes them: though present they are absent.”

Let me get ready from head to foot for it
Most handily with eyes to pick the year
For small feed to reward a feathered wit.”

“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)
