Famous quotes containing the word decline:

    Or else I thought her supernatural;
    As though a sterner eye looked through her eye
    On this foul world in its decline and fall,
    On gangling stocks grown great, great stocks run dry,
    Ancestral pearls all pitched into a sty,

    James Thurber (1894–1961)

    We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
