- All the same, my desire had taught me
- An object lesson.
- He was a sceptic, I was an enthusiast.
- He analysed, I synthesized.
- He dealt with proofs, I with questions of faith.

- But I knew now I must be
- As dispassionate pilgrim
- As possible.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or work:
“Yet, haply, in some lull of life,
Some Truce of God which breaks its strife,
The worldling’s eyes shall gather dew,
Dreaming in throngful city ways
Of winter joys his boyhood knew;
And dear and early friends—the few”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“When I first heard Elvis’s voice I just knew that I wasn’t going to work for anybody and nobody was gonna be my boss. Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
