Day Saints

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or saints:

    “Do not because this day I have grown saturnine
    Imagine that lost love, inseparable from my thought
    Because I have no other youth, can make me pine;
    For how should I forget the wisdom that you brought,
    The comfort that you made?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “What do you think spies are: priests, saints and martyrs? They’re a squalid procession of vain fools, traitors too, yes; pansies, sadists and drunkards, people who play cowboys and Indians to brighten their rotten lives.”
    —John le Carré (b. 1931)
