Famous quotes containing the word months:

    “Can no man tell me of my unthrifty son?
    ‘Tis full three months since I did see him last.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Washed down with rusty water in a tin.
    But standing outdoors hungry, in the cold,
    Except in towns at night, is not a sin.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The seasons change their manners, as the year
    Had found some months asleep and leapt them over.”
