Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “Early rising is no pleasure; early drinking’s just the measure.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    “And Manuel embraced his mother and they laughed together: Délira’s laugh sounded surprisingly young; that was because she hadn’t really had the chance to make it heard; life was just not happy enough for that. No, she never had time to use it; she had kept it fresh as can be, like a birdsong in an old nest.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
