The Year

Famous quotes containing the word year:

“... in all cases of monstrosity at birth anaesthetics should be applied by doctors publicly appointed for that purpose... Every successive year would see fewer of the unfit born, and finally none. But, it may be urged, this is legalized infanticide. Assuredly it is; and it is urgently needed.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)

“The first year was like icing.
Then the cake started to show through.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
