Famous quotes containing the word week:
“A woman would be wise to think it well

—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“I prefer surveying for a week to spending a week in fashionable society even of the best class.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
