Famous quotes containing the words years and/or death:
“In two or three hundred years life on earth will be unimaginably beautiful, astounding. Man needs such a life and if it hasn’t yet appeared, he should begin to anticipate it, wait for it, dream about it, prepare for it. To achieve this, he has to see and know more than did his grandfather and father.”

“And death i think is no parenthesis”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
