Famous quotes containing the word months:

    “Sixteen. Her breasts
    round, round, and

    who now these two months long
    is bones and tatters of flesh in earth.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “My doctor gave me six months to live but when I couldn’t pay the bill, he gave me six months more.”
