Day Fast Pass

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or pass:

    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)

    English people apparently queue up as a sort of hobby. A family man might pass a mild autumn evening by taking the wife and kids to stand in the cinema queue for a while and then leading them over for a few minutes in the sweetshop queue and then, as a special treat for the kids, saying “Perhaps we’ve time to have a look at the Number Thirty-One bus queue before we turn in.”
    Calvin Trillin (b. 1940)
