Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.
    —Gerald Early (b. 1952)

    Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
