Years Long

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or long:

“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)

“In this country ... men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they retire.”
—Charles Francis Adams, Sr. (1807–1886)
