Famous quotes containing the words year and/or problem:

    “I know not whether Laws be right
    Or whether Laws be wrong;
    All that we know who live in gaol
    Is that the wall is strong;
    And that each day is like a year,
    A year whose days are long.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “The problem is that we attempt to solve the simplest questions cleverly, thereby rendering them unusually complex. One should seek the simple solution.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
