Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“I can’t earn my own living. I could never make anything turn into money. It’s like making fires. A careful assortment of paper, shavings, faggots and kindling nicely tipped with pitch will never light for me. I have never been present when a cigarette butt, extinct, thrown into a damp and isolated spot, started a conflagration in the California woods.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“All day I’ve built
a lifetime and now
the sun sinks to
undo it.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
