Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Miss Knag still aimed at youth, although she had shot beyond it, years ago.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Every milestone of a firstborn is scrutinized, photographed, recorded, replayed, and retold by doting parents to admiring relatives and disinterested friends. . . . While subsequent children will strive to keep pace with siblings a few years their senior, the firstborn will always have a seemingly Herculean task of emulating his adult parents.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
