Years Long

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or long:

“The years seemed to stretch before her like the land: spring, summer, autumn, winter, spring; always the same patient fields, the patient little trees, the patient lives; always the same yearning; the same pulling at the chain—until the instinct to live had torn itself and bled and weakened for the last time, until the chain secured a dead woman, who might cautiously be released.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“A boy is not free to find a partner of his own as long as he must be the partner to his mother.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
