Famous quotes containing the words century and/or series:
“He who tip-toes cannot stand; he who strides cannot walk.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
“Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
