Famous quotes containing the word day:
“If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal—that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Don’t look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you’ll know you’re dead.”
—Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
