Famous quotes containing the words day fast, day, fast and/or pass:
“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“On the first day of a revolution he is a treasure; on the second he ought to be shot.”
—Anonymous. Quoted in Benét’s Reader’s Encyclopedia, third edition (1987)
“A sure cure for boredom: fast until you are ravenous.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“When I pass people on the street I want to stop them and say, listen, I got a fella.”
—Sydney Carroll, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Rossen. Sarah (Piper Laurie)
