Famous quotes containing the words weeks and/or queen:
“I almost wished that I was still in prison. I felt I wasn’t ready to be out making
decisions.... Even now over three years after my release, I can carry around fifty rand for
two weeks and not spend it. I go into shops, but I find it hard to choose things.”
—Feziwe Bookholane (b. 1942)
“Half-opening her lips to the frost’s morning sigh, how strangely the rose has smiled on a swift-fleeting day of September!
How audacious it is to advance in stately manner before the blue-tit fluttering in the shrubs that have long lost their leaves, like a queen with the spring’s greeting on her lips;
to bloom with steadfast hope that, parted from the cold flower-bed, she may be the last to cling, intoxicated, to a young hostess’s breast.”
—Afanasi Fet (1820–1892)
