Famous quotes containing the words fading and/or voices:
“His golden locks time hath to silver turned;
O time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing!
His youth ‘gainst time and age hath ever spurned,
But spurned in vain; youth waneth by increasing.
Beauty, strength, youth are flowers but fading seen;
Duty, faith, love are roots, and ever green.”
—George Peele (1559–1596)
“So the blind will lead the blind, and the deaf shout warnings to one another until their voices are lost.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
