Famous quotes containing the words common and/or years:
“We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting.

—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
