Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Good manners, Madam, are had these days not
    For your asking, nor mine, nor what-we-used-to-be’s.
    The day is a loud grenade that bursts a smile
    Of serious weeds in a comic lily plot....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    There will be better days when I am gone
    And healing pools where I cannot be healed.
    Fragrant stars will gleam forever and ever
    Above the place where I lie desolate.
    Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)

    People in Stamps used to say that the whites in our town were so prejudiced that a Negro couldn’t buy vanilla ice cream. Except on July Fourth. Other days he had to be satisfied with chocolate.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
