Weeks

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)

    “... Estelle’s run off.”
    “Yes, what’s it all about? When did she go?”
    “Two weeks since.”
    “She’s in earnest, it appears.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    For more than five years I maintained myself thus solely by the labor of my hands, and I found that, by working about six weeks in a year, I could meet all the expenses of living. The whole of my winters, as well as most of my summers, I had free and clear for study.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
