Famous quotes containing the word weeks:
“To introduce a new play only six weeks after another has been banned is also a way to speak one’s piece to the government. It proves that art and liberty can grow back in one night under the clumsy foot which crushes them.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“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)
“I almost wished that I was still in prison. I felt I wasn’t ready to be out making
decisions.... Even now over three years after my release, I can carry around fifty rand for
two weeks and not spend it. I go into shops, but I find it hard to choose things.”
—Feziwe Bookholane (b. 1942)
