Learning Time

Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or time:

    “Miss C_____’s father,” says Betty, “had much better have bred his daughter a housewife, and then, mayhap, she might have got her a husband, which with all her fine learning she has not yet been able to do. And no wonder, for what man would be plagued with a slattern?”
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    Today is made of yesterday, each time I steal
    toward rites I do not know, waiting for the lost
    ingredient, as if salt or money or even lust
    would keep us calm and prove us whole at last.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
