Calendar Year Grand

Famous quotes containing the words calendar, year and/or grand:

“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)

“And year by year the landscape grow
Familiar to the stranger’s child;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“No grand idea was ever born in a conference, but a lot of foolish ideas have died there.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
