Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or day:
“Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new,
Good pennyworths,—but money cannot move:
I keep a fair but for the Fair to view,—
A beggar may be liberal of love.
Though all my wares be trash, the heart is true,”
—Unknown. Fine Knacks for Ladies (l. 7–8)
“One day He
tipped His top hat
and walked
out of the room,
ending the argument.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
