Years Long

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or long:

“Almost everybody in the neighborhood had “troubles,” frankly localized and specified; but only the chosen had “complications.” To have them was in itself a distinction, though it was also, in most cases, a death warrant. People struggled on for years with “troubles,” but they almost always succumbed to “complications.””
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

“He might begin the Day of Judgement, but he would probably find himself in the dock long before it was over.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
