Accurate Time

Famous quotes containing the words accurate and/or time:

“Our Lamaze instructor . . . assured our class . . . that our cervix muscles would become “naturally numb” as they swelled and stretched, and deep breathing would turn the final explosions of pain into “manageable discomfort.” This descriptions turned out to be as accurate as, say a steward advising passengers aboard the Titanic to prepare for a brisk but bracing swim.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

“The time flew by, wi’ tentless heed;
Till, ‘tween the late and early,
Wi’ sma’ persuasion she agreed
To see me thro’ the barley.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
