Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Youth is rather to be pitied than envied by people in years since it is doomed to toil through the rugged road of life which the others have passed through, in search of happiness that is not to be met with in it and that, at the highest, can be compounded for only by the blessing of a contented mind.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“In many respects, the preteen years mimic adolescence, but without one essential ingredient: hormones.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
