Famous quotes containing the words day, fast and/or pass:
“Came vested all in white, pure as her mind.
Her face was veiled; yet to my fancied sight

But, O! as to embrace me she inclined,
I waked, she fled, and day brought back my night.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

—Deborah J. Swiss (20th century)
“In modern America, anyone who attempts to write satirically about the events of the day finds it difficult to concoct a situation so bizarre that it may not actually come to pass while his article is still on the presses.”
