Famous quotes containing the word day:

    Two lads that thought there was no more behind
    But such a day tomorrow as today,
    And to be boy eternal.

    Sermons and soda-water the day after.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    On the day we filmed the scene, a bee stung me. I screamed and cried so much they called a doctor, and my father said, “It can’t hurt that badly!” But it wasn’t the pain that upset me, it was the thought that I mightn’t be in the film. Already the little professional.
    Natasha Richardson (b. 1963)
