Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or day:
“Organize first for knowledge, first with the object of making us know ourselves as a nation, for we have to do that before we can be of value to other nations of the world and then organize to accomplish the things that you decide to want. And ... dont make decisions with the interest of youth alone before you. Make your decisions because they are good for the nation as a whole.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (18841962)
“Writing is more than anything a compulsion, like some people wash their hands thirty times a day for fear of awful consequences if they do not. It pays a whole lot better than this type of compulsion, but it is no more heroic.”
—Julie Burchill (b. 1960)
