Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about. So simple. Youve got to catch it through details, like the early morning sunlight hitting the gray tin of the rain spout in front of her house. The ringing of a telephone that sounds like Beethovens Pastoral. A letter scribbled on her office stationery that you carry around in your pocket because it smells of all the lilacs in Ohio.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“Helicon: It takes one day to make a senator and ten years to make a worker.
Caligula: But I am afraid that it takes twenty years to make a worker out of a senator.”
—Albert Camus (19131960)
