Million Years

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or years:

“To think to know the country and not know
The hillside on the day the sun lets go
Ten million silver lizards out of snow!”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Not so many years ago there there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel—movement through space—provided the universal metaphor for change.... One of the subtle confusions—perhaps one of the secret terrors—of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
