European Capital of Culture - Present Year

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or year:

“To appreciate present conditions
collate them with those of antiquity.”
—Basil Bunting (1900–1985)

“One of the sadder things, I think,
Is how our birthdays slowly sink:
Presents and parties disappear,
The cards grow fewer year by year,
Till, when one reaches sixty-five,
How many care we’re still alive?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
