Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

“As artists they’re rot, but as providers they’re oil wells; they gush. Norris said she never wrote a story unless it was fun to do. I understand Ferber whistles at her typewriter. And there was that poor sucker Flaubert rolling around on his floor for three days looking for the right word.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

““The days have outnumbered
my fingers and toes.
What can I count with now?”
Saying this,
the naive girl cries.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“Yet they do have
don’t they like us
their days of grace, they
halt, stretch, a vision
breaks in on the cramped grimace,
inscape of transformation.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
