V-j Day in Times Squarearchive1

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or times:

    The catastrophe
    Buried in the stair carpet stayed there
    And never corrupted anybody.
    And one day he grew up, and the horizon
    Stammered politely. The sky was like muslin.
    And still in the old house no one ever answered the bell.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    It seems to me that we do not know nearly enough about ourselves; that we do not often enough wonder if our lives, or some events and times in our lives, may not be analogues or metaphors or echoes of evolvements and happenings going on in other people?—or animals?—even forests or oceans or rocks?—in this world of ours or, even, in worlds or dimensions elsewhere.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
