Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or date:
“The sky is silent too,
Hard as granite and as fixed as fate.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Until I was twenty-five, I had no development at all. From my twenty-fifth year I date my life. Three weeks have scarcely passed, at any time between then and now, that I have not unfolded within myself. But I feel that I am now come to the inmost leaf of the bulb, and that shortly the flower must fall to the mould.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
