Famous quotes containing the word centuries:
“Other centuries had their driving forces. What will ours have been when men look far back to it one day? Maybe it wont be the American Century, after all. Or the Russian Century or the Atomic Century. Wouldnt it be wonderful, Phil, if it turned out to be everybodys century, when people all over the worldfree peoplefound a way to live together? Id like to be around to see some of that, even the beginning.”
—Moss Hart (19041961)
