Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or ages:
“Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by those of the future. Persons might then straddle the middle stretch of the seesaw when considering this or that object. It might be fun.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“All for me? And not a question
For the faded flowers gay
That could take me from beside you
For the ages of a day?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
