Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They don’t really fit anywhere. There’s a yearning for place, a search for solid ground.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“I Years had been from Home
And now before the Door
I dared not enter,”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
