Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:

    After a month or so I get used to the book’s final stage, to its having been weaned from my brain. I now regard it with a kind of amused tenderness as a man regards not his son, but the young wife of his son.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
