Famous quotes containing the words years and/or earlier:
“All through the years of our youth
Neither could have known
Their own thought from the other’s,
We were so much at one.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love.... It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigour of the earlier world?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
