Famous quotes containing the word times:

    In old times people used to try and square the circle; now they try and devise schemes for satisfying the Irish nation.

    Tell me how many beads there are
    In a silver chain
    Of evening rain,
    Unravelled from the tumbling main,
    And threading the eye of a yellow star:—
    So many times do I love again.
    Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)

    Only one endowed with restless vitality is susceptible to pessimism. You become a pessimist—a demonic, elemental, bestial pessimist—only when life has been defeated many times in its fight against depression.
    E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
