Famous quotes containing the words rip and/or years:
“blind wantons like the gulls who scream
And rip the edge off any ideal or dream.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
“Furnished as all Europe now is with Academies of Science, with nice instruments and the spirit of experiment, the progress of human knowledge will be rapid and discoveries made of which we have at present no conception. I begin to be almost sorry I was born so soon, since I cannot have the happiness of knowing what will be known a hundred years hence.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
