Calendar Begins

Famous quotes containing the words calendar and/or begins:

“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)

“It is all right for the lion and the lamb to lie down together if they are both asleep, but if one of them begins to get active it is dangerous.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
