Years Older

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or older:

    “My dear Kafka,
    When you’ve had five years of it, not five months,
    Five years of an irresistible force meeting an immoveable object right in your belly,
    Then you’ll know about depression.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The sun set; but set not his hope:
    Stars rose; his faith was earlier up:
    Fixed on the enormous galaxy,
    Deeper and older seemed his eye:
    And matched his sufferance sublime
    The taciturnity of time.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
