Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or day:

    “If I use the media, even with tricks, to publicise a black youth being shot in the back in Teaneck, New Jersey ... then I should be praised for it, and it’s more of a comment on them than me that it would take tricks to make them cover the loss of life.”
    —Al, Rev. Sharpton (b. 1954)

    “It was a day of cold
    Raw silence, wind-blown
    Surplice and soutane:
    Rained-on, flower-laden
    Coffin after coffin
    Seemed to float from the door”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
