Years Collins

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or collins:

    “Almost everybody in the neighborhood had “troubles,” frankly localized and specified; but only the chosen had “complications.” To have them was in itself a distinction, though it was also, in most cases, a death warrant. People struggled on for years with “troubles,” but they almost always succumbed to “complications.””
    —Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

    “Each lonely scene shall thee restore;
    For thee the tear be duly shed;
    Beloved till life can charm no more,
    And mourn’d till Pity’s self be dead.”
    —William Collins (1721–1759)
