The Year

Famous quotes containing the word year:

    He bends to the order of the seasons, the weather, the soils and crops, as the sails of a ship bend to the wind. He represents continuous hard labor, year in, year out, and small gains. He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That’s a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
