Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:

—David Webb Peoples, U.S. screenwriter, and Ridley Scott. Roy Batty, Blade Runner, final words before dying—as an android he had a built-in life span that expired (1982)

The disappearing last of him
And of his race starvation slim,
Oh, years ago—ten thousand years.”
