Famous quotes containing the words daily, express and/or building:

    The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    O public road, I say back I am not afraid to leave you, yet I love you,
    You express me better than I can express myself.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
