Famous quotes containing the word years:

—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

The geologists tell us that it took one hundred years to prove that fossils are organic, and one hundred and fifty more to prove that they are not to be referred to the Noachian deluge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
