Day Bank Holiday

Famous quotes containing the words day, bank and/or holiday:

    Profound as race prejudice is against the Negro American, it is not practically as far- reaching as the prejudice against women. For stripping away the sentimentality which makes Mother’s Day and Best American Mother Contests, the truth is that women suffer all the effects of a minority.
    Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)

    It was like passing a boundary to dive
    Into the sun-filled water, brightly leafed
    And limbed and lighted out from bank to bank.
    That’s how the stars shine during the day.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I can’t stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain’t music, it’s close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.
    —Billie Holiday (1915–1959)
