Human Days

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or days:

    If only he would not pity us so much,
    Weaken our fate, relieve us of woe both great
    And small, a constant fellow of destiny,
    A too, too human god, self-pity’s kin
    And uncourageous genesis . . .
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant. Now we reckon them as bank-days, by some debt which is to be paid us, or which we are to pay, or some pleasure we are to taste.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
