Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Every few years something new breaks into the circle of my thoughts.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“So here I am, in the middle way, having had twenty years—
Twenty years largely wasted, the years of l’entre deux guerres—
Trying to learn to use words, and every attempt
Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
