Famous quotes containing the words years and/or war:

    It has been years since I have seen anyone who could even look as if he were in love. No one’s face lights up any more except for political conversation.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    You went to meet the shell’s embrace of fire
    On Vimy Ridge; and when you fell that day
    The war seemed over more for you than me,
    But now for me than you the other way.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
