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)

“Barely a twelvemonth after
The seven days war that put the world to sleep,
Late in the evening the strange horses came.”
—Edwin Muir (1887–1959)

“I have heard it said that it took Messrs. Shipman and Hymer [the playwrights] just three- and-a-half days to write their drama. I should like to know what they were doing during the three days.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
