Famous quotes containing the words spent and/or time:
“I have spent so long erecting partitions around the part of me that writes—learning how to close the door on it when ordinary life intervenes, how to close the door on ordinary life when it’s time to start writing again—that I’m not sure I could fit the two parts of me back together now.”
—Anne Tyler (b. 1941)
“... patriotism cannot go back to an innocent time before the murderous excesses of twentieth-century nationalism.”
—Jean Bethke Elshtain (b. 1941)
