Famous quotes containing the words years and/or long:
“During those years in Stamps, I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare. He was my first white love.... it was Shakespeare who said, When in disgrace with fortune and mens eyes. It was a state of mind with which I found myself most familiar. I pacified myself about his whiteness by saying that after all he had been dead so long it couldnt matter to anyone any more.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“One cannot long remain so absorbed in contemplation of emptiness without being increasingly attracted to it. In vain one bestows on it the name of infinity; this does not change its nature. When one feels such pleasure in non- existence, ones inclination can be completely satisfied only by completely ceasing to exist.”
—Emile Durkheim (18581917)
