Famous quotes containing the word years:

    Good Heavens! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing it.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
    As proud Windsor, Where I in lust and joy
    With a king’s son my childish years did pass
    In greater feast than Priam’s sons of Troy?
    Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour;
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
