Famous quotes containing the words press, freedom and/or day:

    “Oh! snatch’d away in beauty’s bloom,
    On thee shall press no ponderous tomb;
    But on thy turf shall roses rear
    Their leaves, the earliest of the year;”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Freedom to think our own thoughts, freedom to utter them, freedom to live out the promptings of our inner life ultimated in this convention, was termed a monstrosity of the 19th century. What was it?—the legitimate out-birth of the eternal law of progress. This reformation underlies every other; it is the only healthful centre around which hope of humanity can revolve.”
    —Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)

    “All day I’d looked in the face
    What I had hoped ‘twould be
    To write for my own race
    And the reality;”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
