Famous quotes containing the word day:

    Economic growth may one day turn out to be a curse rather than a good, and under no conditions can it either lead into freedom or constitute a proof for its existence.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    Do not because this day I have grown saturnine
    Imagine that lost love, inseparable from my thought
    Because I have no other youth, can make me pine;
    For how should I forget the wisdom that you brought,
    The comfort that you made?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The day is not purer than the depths of my heart.
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)
