Famous quotes containing the words date and/or reflects:
“Until I was twenty-five, I had no development at all. From my twenty-fifth year I date my life. Three weeks have scarcely passed, at any time between then and now, that I have not unfolded within myself. But I feel that I am now come to the inmost leaf of the bulb, and that shortly the flower must fall to the mould.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“... when one reflects on the books one never has written, and never may, though their schedules lie in the beautiful chirography which marks the inception of an unexpressed thought upon the pages of ones notebook, one is aware, of any given idea, that the chances are against its ever being offered to ones dearest readers.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (18441911)
