Earlier Site

Famous quotes containing the words earlier and/or site:

“... less and less of luck, and more and more
Of failure spreading back up the arm
Earlier and earlier ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries. The soil is blanched and accursed there, and before that becomes necessary the earth itself will be destroyed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
