Opens Replacing

Famous quotes containing the words opens and/or replacing:

    When a man grows old his joy
    Grows more deep day after day,
    His empty heart is full at length
    But he has need of all that strength
    Because of the increasing Night
    That opens her mystery and fright.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure—the web—of society needed reform, not demolition. To have cut the institutional and community strands without replacing them with new ones proved to be a form of abuse to one generation and to the next. For so many Americans, the tragedy was not in dreaming that life could be better; the tragedy was that the dreaming ended.
    Richard Louv (20th century)
