Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Mothers are likely to have more bad days on the job than most other professionals, considering the hours: round-the-clock, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year. . . . You go to work when you’re sick, maybe even clinically depressed, because motherhood is perhaps the only unpaid position where failure to show up can result in arrest.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    Methinks a Man cannot, without a secret Satisfaction, consider the Glory of the present Age, which will shine as bright as any other in the History of Mankind. It is still big with great Events, and has already produced Changes and Revolutions which will be as much admired by Posterity, as any that have happened in the Days of our Fathers, or in the old Times before them.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    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)
