Famous quotes containing the words long, count and/or calendar:
“Strange that I should have no fear of dying? Well, I have lived so long questioning the unknown, that this plunge into its depths is only the last and perhaps the greatest of my experiments.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
“It’s one of the tragic ironies of the theater that only one man in it can count on steady work—the night watchman.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
