Famous quotes containing the word years:
“We are prisoners of the world’s demented sink.
The soft enchantments of our years of innocence
Are harvested by accredited experience
Our fondest memories soon turn to poison
And only oblivion remains in season.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Some of these people need ten years of therapy—ten sentences of mine do not equal ten years of therapy.”
