Years of the world. Till he was old. Cormac McCarthy

One man may be so placed that his anger sheds the blood of thousands, and another so placed that however angry he gets he will only be laughed at.

Each of them, if he seriously turns to God, can have that twist in the central man... C. S. Lewis
