Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“For the writer, there is nothing quite like having someone say that he or she understands, that you have reached them and affected them with what you have written. It is the feeling early humans must have experienced when the firelight first overcame the darkness of the cave. It is the communal cooking pot, the Street, all over again. It is our need to know we are not alone.”
—Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)
“This is rather different from the receptions I used to get fifty years ago. They threw things at me then—but they were not roses.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
