Famous quotes containing the words year and/or wonders:

    Next year we shall be living in a country
    That brought its soldiers home for lack of money.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
