Famous quotes containing the words republic and/or day:

    “People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.”
    —Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)

    “I take your arms boldly,
    each day a new excursion.
    Come, my sister,
    we are two virgins,
    our lives once more perfected
    and unused.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
