Famous quotes containing the words year and/or period:
“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)
“There’s always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
