Famous quotes containing the words years and/or death:

    “Spring still makes spring in the mind,
    When sixty years are told;
    Love wakes anew this throbbing heart,
    And we are never old.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There is something antique, even, in his style of treating his subject, reminding us that Heroes and Demi-gods, Fates and Furies, still exist; the common man is nothing to him, but after death the hero is apotheosized and has a place in heaven, as in the religion of the Greeks.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
