Famous quotes containing the words robin and/or day:

    But strictly between us,
    You’re cuter than Venus and what’s more you’ve got arms.
    —Leo Robin (1900–1984)

    When a man grows old his joy
    Grows more deep day after day,
    His empty heart is full at length
    But he has need of all that strength
    Because of the increasing Night
    That opens her mystery and fright.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
