Famous quotes containing the words long, count and/or calendar:
“The course of my long life hath reached at last
In fragile bark o’er a tempestuous sea
The common harbor, where must rendered be
Account for all the actions of the past.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“That’s why I’ve come to you, to seek release from a curse of misery and horror against which I’m powerless to fight alone.”
—Edward T. Lowe. Erle C. Kenton. Count Dracula (John Carradine)
“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
