Conception Day

Famous quotes containing the words conception and/or day:

“The fact is that all writers create their precursors. Their work modifies our conception of the past, just as it is bound to modify the future.”

“When my old wife lived, upon
This day she was both pantler, butler, cook,
Both dame and servant, welcomed all, served all,
Would sing her song and dance her turn, now here
At upper end o’the table, now i’the middle,
On his shoulder, and his, her face afire
With labor, and the thing she took to quench it
She would to each one sip.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
