William Ewart Gladstone/final Years 1894%e2%80%931898

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:

    The true use of Shakespeare or of Cervantes, of Homer or of Dante, of Chaucer or of Rabelais, is to augment one’s own growing inner self.... The mind’s dialogue with itself is not primarily a social reality. All that the Western Canon can bring one is the proper use of one’s own solitude, that solitude whose final form is one’s confrontation with one’s own mortality.
    Harold Bloom (b. 1930)

    What a hundred years is not enough to build, one day is more than enough to destroy.
    Chinese proverb.
