Famous quotes containing the word day:

    All still lifes are actually paintings of the world on the sixth day of creation, when God and the world were alone together, without man!
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    and if the day
    is no day for miracles, then the preparations
    are an order one may rest in.
    But one doesn’t want
    rest, one wants miracles.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
