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

    He rides in the Row at ten o’clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a week, changes his clothes at least five times a day, and dines out every night of the season. You don’t call that leading an idle life, do you?
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Most days I feel like an acrobat high above a crowd out of which my own parents, my in-laws, potential employers, phantoms of “other women who do it” and a thousand faceless eyes stare up.
    —Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)

    But now he snapped his eyes three times;
    Then shook his lantern, saying, “He’s
    ‘Bout out!” and took the long way home
    By road, a matter of several miles.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
