Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Water, earth, air, fire, and the other parts of this structure of mine are no more instruments of your life than instruments of your death. Why do you fear your last day? It contributes no more to your death than each of the others. The last step does not cause the fatigue, but reveals it. All days travel toward death, the last one reaches it.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “The days have outnumbered
    my fingers and toes.
    What can I count with now?”
    Saying this,
    the naive girl cries.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Cast your mind on other days
    That we in coming days may be
    Still the indomitable Irishry.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
