Famous quotes containing the words years and/or death:

    “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)

    “They can rule the world while they can persuade us
    our pain belongs in some order.
    Is death by famine worse than death by suicide,
    than a life of famine and suicide ... ?”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
