Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.”
    —Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    “Yet they that know all things but know
    That all this life can give us is
    A child’s laughter, a woman’s kiss.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
