Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    And, oh God, in my misspent youth as a housewife, I, too, used to bake bread, in those hectic and desolating days just prior to the woman’s movement, when middle-class women were supposed to be wonderful wives and mothers, gracious hostesses.... I used to feel so womanly when I was baking my filthy bread.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant. Now we reckon them as bank-days, by some debt which is to be paid us, or which we are to pay, or some pleasure we are to taste.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
