Famous quotes containing the words year and/or yonder:

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)

    “And yonder stands my brother Hugh,
    But by him my William, sweet and true.”
    Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 51–52)
