Famous quotes containing the word today:

    It makes worries like what you wear today seem stupid.
    Rebecca Neel (b. c. 1981)

    Boundless in your charity, but shrewd and cautious as a lender, you delight all those today whom you made beggars the day before.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Experiment is necessary in establishing an academy, but certain principles must apply to this business of art as to any other business which affects the artis tic sense of the community. Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.
    Robert Menzies (1894–1978)
