Years Long

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or long:

“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

“Poor tired Tim! It’s sad for him
He lags the long bright morning through,
Ever so tired of nothing to do;”
—Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
