Famous quotes containing the word years:

    “But he answered his father, Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!’”
    —Bible: New Testament, Luke 15:29,30.

    “But you were not living at all,
    and I was half-living,
    so where the years blight these others,
    we, who were not of the years,
    have escaped,
    we got nowhere.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
