Leap Day

Famous quotes containing the words leap and/or day:

    “The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,
    The devil will come, and Faustus must be damned.

    See, see, where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament.
    One drop would save my soul, half a drop, ah my Christ.”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
