Famous quotes containing the word days:

    In days of doubt, in days of dreary musings on my country’s fate, you alone are my comfort and support, oh great, powerful, righteous, and free Russian language!
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    Men have made out, that only they can run the world. It’s in about as bad a state as it well can be, but they are proud of their work.
    Ann Oddy, U.S. housekeeper. As quoted in All the Days of My Life, ch. 2 (1913)

    The style, which is something I take to heart, is getting on my nerves horribly. It frustrates and torments me. I have days when I am sick about it and nights when it gives me a fever. The more I go at it the more I find myself incapable of conveying the Idea.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
