Common Years

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or years:

    It is a very common error of some unscrupulously infidel-minded, selfish, unprincipled, or downright knavish men, to suppose that believing men, or benevolent-hearted men, or good men, do not know enough to be unscrupulously selfish, do not know enough to be unscrupulous knaves.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    But you were not living at all,
    and I was half-living,
    so where the years blight these others,
    we, who were not of the years,
    have escaped,
    we got nowhere.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
