Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Alice: I put swimsuits in boxes six days a week.
    George: Yeah. What about Sunday? Maybe then you put yourself in a swimsuit.
    Alice: Oh, not me.
    George: Why? You don’t look good in a swimsuit?
    Alice: Sure I do. I can’t swim.
    George: You’re kidding.
    Alice: I never learned. I was even scared of the duck pond when I was a kid.
    Michael Wilson (1914–1978)

    ... beauty, like ecstasy, has always been hostile to the commonplace. And the commonplace, under its popular label of the normal, has been the supreme authority for Homo sapiens since the days when he was probably arboreal.
