Famous quotes containing the word years:

    The tremendous outflow of intellectuals that formed such a prominent part of the general exodus from Soviet Russia in the first years of the Bolshevist Revolution seems today like the wanderings of some mythical tribe whose bird-signs and moon-signs I now retrieve from the desert dust.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    So many things I had thought forgotten
    Return to my mind with stranger pain:
    Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
    Who left the house so many years ago.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
