Famous quotes containing the words year, survival and/or rate:

The cards grow fewer year by year,
Till, when one reaches sixty-five,
How many care we’re still alive?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get away from it, we are programmed for survival amid catastrophe.”

“Whoever thinks his friend more important than his country, I rate him nowhere.”
