Famous quotes containing the words year and/or system:
“Death’s a sad bone; bruised, you’d say,
and yet she waits for me, year after year,”

“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
