Famous quotes containing the words today and/or called:
“To the degree that respect for professors ... has risen in our society, respect for writers has fallen. Today the professorial intellect has achieved its highest public standing since the world began, while writers have come to be called men of letters, by which is meant people who are prevented by some obscure infirmity from becoming competent journalists.”
—Robert Musil (18801942)
“Had I but awakened from sleep
And called her name, she had heard
It may be, and had not stirred,
That now, it may be, has found
The horns sweet note and the tooth of the hound.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
