Famous quotes containing the words woman and/or year:
“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“It’s enough for you to do it once for a few men to remember you. But if you do it year after year, then many people remember you and they tell it to their children, and their children and grandchildren remember and, if it concerns books, they can read them. And if it’s good enough, it will last as long as there are human beings.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
