Famous quotes containing the word era:

    “How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book! The book exists for us, perchance, that will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
