Famous quotes containing the words thousand years, thousand and/or years:
“The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important, since there is nothing new to be said. Shakespeare, Balzac, Homer have all written about the same things, and if they had lived one thousand or two thousand years longer, the publishers wouldnt have needed anyone since.”
—William Faulkner (18971962)
“Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies,
My love should shine on you like to the Sun,
And look upon you with ten thousand eyes,
Till heaven waxd blind, and till the world were done.
Wheresoer I am,below, or else above you
Wheresoer you are, my heart shall truly love you.”
—Joshua Sylvester (15611618)
“Miss Knag still aimed at youth, although she had shot beyond it, years ago.”
—Charles Dickens (18121870)
