Weeks

Famous quotes containing the word weeks:

    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)

    Since ... six weeks ago, there has been no day in which I have not had letters and visits on the subject of my nomination for the Presidency.... I say very little. I have in no instance encouraged any one to work to that end.... I have said the whole talk about me is on the score of availability. Let availability do the work then.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    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)
