Famous quotes containing the words early and/or period:
“[My early stories] are the work of a living writer whom I know in a sense, but can never meet.”

“Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to “preserve,” that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially “conservative.” A person who has progress in his heart is international.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
