Famous quotes containing the words time and/or day:

    Life is difficult for those who have the daring to first set out on an unknown road. The avant-garde always has a bad time of it.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Came vested all in white, pure as her mind.
    Her face was veiled; yet to my fancied sight
    Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shined
    So clear as in no face with more delight.
    But, O! as to embrace me she inclined,
    I waked, she fled, and day brought back my night.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
