Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    I realized how for all of us who came of age in the late sixties and early seventies the war was a defining experience. You went or you didn’t, but the fact of it and the decisions it forced us to make marked us for the rest of our lives, just as the depression and World War II had marked my parents.
    Linda Grant (b. 1949)

    There are two times in a man’s life when he should not speculate: when he can’t afford it, and when he can.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
