Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“I realized how for all of us who came of age in the late sixties and early seventies the war was a defining experience. You went or you didnt, but the fact of it and the decisions it forced us to make marked us for the rest of our lives, just as the depression and World War II had marked my parents.”
—Linda Grant (b. 1949)
“Our species successfully raised children for tens of thousands of years before the first person wrote down the word psychology. The fundamental skills needed to be a parent are within us. All were really doing is fine-tuning a process thats already remarkably successful.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
