Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“At the earliest ending of winter,
In March, a scrawny cry from outside
Seemed like a sound in his mind.
He knew that he heard it,
A birds cry, at daylight or before,
In the early March wind.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“You want to prepare your child to think as he gets older. You want him to be critical in his judgments. Teaching a child, by your example, that theres never any room for negotiating or making choices in life may suggest that you expect blind obediencebut it wont help him in the long run to be discriminating in choices and thinking.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
