Famous quotes containing the word years:
“It was almost two years ago, while awaiting the imminent birth of my second child, that I decided to start working part-time. This would have been unthinkable to me when I was younger. At twenty-five I should have worn a big red A on my chest; it would have stood for ambition, an ambition so brazen and burning that it would have reduced Hester Prynne’s transgression to pale pink.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
“Mily: You must remember me!?
Tadeusz: I never remember pretty women. It’s so expensive.
My friend, after twenty thousand years murder is still a business that’s mainly in the hands of amateurs.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
