Years Long

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or long:

“The greater part of our best years has been passed for our generation in these two great worldconvulsions. All will be changed after this war, which spends in one month more than nations earned before in years ... there is no more security in our time than in those of the Reformation or the fall of Rome.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“Things said or done long years ago,
Or things I did not do or say
But though that I might say or do,
Weigh me down, and not a day
But something is recalled,
My conscience or my vanity appalled.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
