Famous quotes containing the words time and/or day:

    “Revolution begins with the self, in the self.... We’d better take the time to fashion revolutionary selves, revolutionary lives, revolutionary relationships. Mouth don’t win the war.”
    —Toni Cade (b. 1939)

    “Draw up the dew. Swell with pacific violence.
    Take shape in silence. Grow as the clouds grew.
    Beautiful brood the cornlands, and you are heavy;
    Leafy the boughs—they also hide big fruit.”
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
