Famous quotes containing the words years and/or death:
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“For ‘tis not in mere death that men die most.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
