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

    “And year by year the landscape grow
    Familiar to the stranger’s child;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes who appear once a year on a greeting card with their virtues set to prose, but women who have been dealt a hand for life and play each card one at a time the best way they know how. No mother is all good or all bad, all laughing or all serious, all loving or all angry. Ambivalence rushes through their veins.”
    —Erma Bombeck (20th century)
