Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.”
    —Andre Maurois (1885–1967)

    “If youth is the period of hero-worship, so also is it true that hero-worship, more than anything else, perhaps, gives one the sense of youth. To admire, to expand one’s self, to forget the rut, to have a sense of newness and life and hope, is to feel young at any time of life.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
