Ten Weeks

Famous quotes containing the words ten and/or weeks:

    I married a miner myself. I had ten children. I’ve got seven now; thirty-one grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. And I’m happy to say not a one’s ever crossed a picket line.
    Florence Reese (c. 1900–?)

    My first few weeks in America are always miserable, because the tastes I am cursed with are all of a kind that cannot be gratified here, & I am not enough in sympathy with our “gros public” to make up for the lack on the aesthetic side. One’s friends are delightful; but we are none of us Americans, we don’t think or feel as the Americans do, we are the wretched exotics produced in a European glass-house, the most déplacé & useless class on earth!
    Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
