Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    And, oh God, in my misspent youth as a housewife, I, too, used to bake bread, in those hectic and desolating days just prior to the woman’s movement, when middle-class women were supposed to be wonderful wives and mothers, gracious hostesses.... I used to feel so womanly when I was baking my filthy bread.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    These days are dangerous;
    Virtue is choked with foul ambition,
    And charity chased hence by rancor’s hand.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What are days for?
    Days are where we live.
    They come, they wake us
    Time and time over.
    They are to be happy in:
    Where can we live but days?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
