Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Progress would not have been the rarity it is if the early food had not been the late poison.”

“I have spent so long erecting partitions around the part of me that writes—learning how to close the door on it when ordinary life intervenes, how to close the door on ordinary life when it’s time to start writing again—that I’m not sure I could fit the two parts of me back together now.”
—Anne Tyler (b. 1941)
