Famous quotes containing the words day of, day and/or atonement:
“And you’re too fired up to go to sleep, you sit at the kitchen table. It’s really late, it’s really quiet, you’re tired. Don’t wanna go to bed, though. Going to bed means this was the day. This Feb. 12, this Aug. 3, this Nov. 20 is over and you’re tired and you made some money but it didn’t happen, nothing happened. You got through it and a whole day of your life is over. And all it is—is time to go to bed.”
—Claudia Shear, U.S. author. New York Times, p. A21 (September 29, 1993)
“Venus, take my votive glass:
Since I am not what I was,
What from this day I shall be,
Venus, let me never see.”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
“What atonement is there for blood spilt upon the earth?”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
