Famous quotes containing the words moscow and/or years:

    Napoleon is a torrent which as yet we are unable to stem. Moscow will be the sponge that will suck him dry.

    So here I am, in the middle way, having had twenty years
    Twenty years largely wasted, the years of l’entre deux guerres—
    Trying to learn to use words, and every attempt
    Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
