Famous quotes containing the word day:

    The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day ... a movement is only people moving.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    Now all day long the man who is not dead
    Hastens the dark with inattentive eyes,
    The woman with white hand and erect head
    Stares at the covers, leans for the son’s replies
    At last to her importunate womanhood....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
