Years Long

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or long:

“[Women’s] apparent endorsement of male supremacy is ... a pathetic striving for self- respect, self-justification, and self-pardon. After fifteen hundred years of subjection to men, Western woman finds it almost unbearable to face the fact that she has been hoodwinked and enslaved by her inferiors—that the master is lesser than the slave.”
—Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)

“Dust in an urn long since, dispersed and dead
Is great Apollo; and the happier he;”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
