Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Are not the days of my life few? Let me alone, that I may find a little comfort before I go, never to return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness, the land of gloom and chaos, where light is like darkness.
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 10:20.

    Back in the days when men were hunters and chestbeaters and women spent their whole lives worrying about pregnancy or dying in childbirth, they often had to be taken against their will. Men complained that women were cold, unresponsive, frigid.... They wanted their women wanton. They wanted their women wild. Now women were finally learning to be wanton and wild—and what happened? The men wilted.
    Erica Jong (b. 1942)

    ... the spiritual world is here and now and indisputably and preeminently real. It is the material world that is the realm of shadows.
    Amelia E. Barr, U.S. novelist. All the Days of My Life, ch. 1 (1913)
