Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “It is so very late that we
    May call it early by and by. Good night.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “And we can get back to that raw state
    Of feeling, so long deemed
    Inconsequential and therefore appropriate to our later musings
    About religion, about migrations. What is restored
    Becomes stronger than the loss as it is remembered;
    Is a new, separate life of its own.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
