Famous quotes containing the words ten, days and/or shook:

    And ten low words oft creep in one dull line:
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    When wilt thou leave fighting o’ days and foining o’ nights, and begin to patch up thine old body for heaven?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I shook off the sweat and the sun. I understood that I had destroyed the balance of the day, the exceptional silence of a beach where I had been happy. Then I shot four more times at an inert body which the bullets penetrated without appearing so. And it was like four brief knocks that I struck on the door of misfortune.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
