Famous quotes containing the word years:

    “But—if you cannot give us ease—
    Last of the race of them who grieve
    Here leave us to die out with these
    Last of the people who believe!
    Silent, while years engrave the brow;
    Silent—the best are silent now.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “What a lesson here for our world. One blast, thousands of years of civilization wiped out.”
    —Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
