Famous quotes containing the words year by year and/or year:

    “One of the sadder things, I think,
    Is how our birthdays slowly sink:
    Presents and parties disappear,
    The cards grow fewer year by year,
    Till, when one reaches sixty-five,
    How many care we’re still alive?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.”
    —Truman Capote (1924–1984)
