Famous quotes containing the word years:

    “There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “But to wish is first to think,
    And to think is to be dumb,
    And barren of a word to drop
    That to a milder shore might come
    And, years ahead, erect a crop.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
