Famous quotes containing the word years:

    “Alas, Postumus, Postumus, the fleeting years slip by.”
    —Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)

    “When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked.... In other words, I don’t improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.”
    —John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
