Famous quotes containing the words day and/or visitors:
“Punishment followed on a grand scale. For ten days, an unconscionable length of time, my father blessed the palms of his childs outstretched, four-year-old hands with a sharp switch. Seven strokes a day on each hand; that makes one hundred forty strokes and then some. This put an end to the childs innocence.”
—Christoph Meckel (20th century)
“As for men, they will hardly fail one anywhere. I had more visitors while I lived in the woods than at any other period of my life; I mean that I had some.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
