Beginning

Famous quotes containing the word beginning:

“Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)

“Here is the beginning of understanding: most parents are doing their best, and most children are doing their best, and they’re doing pretty well, all things considered.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)

“Have you no beginning and end? Which heart is
the real one? Which eye the seer?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
