Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They don’t really fit anywhere. There’s a yearning for place, a search for solid ground.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“Some of these people need ten years of therapy—ten sentences of mine do not equal ten years of therapy.”
—Jeff Zaslow (b. 1925)
