Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    It is not too much to say that next after the passion to learn there is no quality so indispensable to the successful prosecution of science as imagination. Find me a people whose early medicine is not mixed up with magic and incantations, and I will find you a people devoid of all scientific ability.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    In comedy, reconcilement with life comes at the point when to the tragic sense only an inalienable difference or dissension with life appears.
    Constance Rourke (1885–1941)
