Sweet Day

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or day:

“She’s taen out her little pen-knife,
Fine flowers in the valley,
And twinned the sweet babe o’ its life,
And the green leaves they grow rarely.”

“However, the danger in [socially unbalanced relationships] is that the subjection of the woman temporarily calms the man’s jealousy but also renders it more demanding. He ends up making his mistress live like those prisoners on whom light is shone day and night in order for them to be better watched. And things always end in tragedy.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
