Date Line Change

Famous quotes containing the words date, line and/or change:

    There is nothing that I shudder at more than the idea of a separation of the Union. Should such an event ever happen, which I fervently pray God to avert, from that date I view our liberty gone.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    This wild night, gathering the washing as if it were flowers
    animal vines twisting over the line and
    slapping my face lightly, soundless merriment
    in the gesticulations of shirtsleeves ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    What would it mean to live
    in a city whose people were changing
    each other’s despair into hope?—
    You yourself must change it.
