Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “They circumcised women, little girls, in Jesus’s time. Did he know? Did the subject anger or embarrass him? Did the early church erase the record? Jesus himself was circumcised; perhaps he thought only the cutting done to him was done to women, and therefore, since he survived, it was all right.”
    —Alice Walker (b. 1944)

    “They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;
    They pursued it with forks and hope;
    They threatened its life with a railway-share
    They charmed it with smiles and soap.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
