Famous quotes containing the words book, sense and/or year:

    “The one book necessary to be understood by a divine, is the Bible; any others are to be read, chiefly, in order to understand that.”
    —Francis Lockier (1668–1740)

    “Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
    Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “Tomorrow in the offices the year on the stamps will be altered;
    Tomorrow new diaries consulted, new calendars stand;
    With such small adjustments life will again move forward
    Implicating us all; and the voice of the living be heard:
    “It is to us that you should turn your straying attention;
    Us who need you, and are affected by your fortune;
    Us you should love and to whom you should give your word.””
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
