Famous quotes containing the words year and/or rate:
“The year growing ancient,
Not yet on summers death, nor on the birth
Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers othe season
Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with characters, or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons in history. History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic. But I am.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (18991973)
