Famous quotes containing the words years and/or death:
“To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.”
—Bernard Baruch (1870–1965)
“During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink rather than the drink to the insanity. I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
