Ten Weeks

Famous quotes containing the words ten and/or weeks:

    There is nothing about which I am more anxious than my country, and for its sake I am willing to die ten deaths, if that be possible.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    I weathered some merry snow-storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fireside, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed. For many weeks I met no one in my walks but those who came occasionally to cut wood and sled it to the village.... For human society I was obliged to conjure up the former occupants of these woods.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
