Famous quotes containing the word weeks:
“Until I was twenty-five, I had no development at all. From my twenty-fifth year I date my life. Three weeks have scarcely passed, at any time between then and now, that I have not unfolded within myself. But I feel that I am now come to the inmost leaf of the bulb, and that shortly the flower must fall to the mould.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“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)
“The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
