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)

“Every New Year is the direct descendant, isn’t it, of a long line of proven criminals?”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

“The Olympian gods cannot have grand passions because they cannot die.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
