Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    We are living now, not in the delicious intoxication induced by the early successes of science, but in a rather grisly morning-after, when it has become apparent that what triumphant science has done hitherto is to improve the means for achieving unimproved or actually deteriorated ends.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    The sweetest joys of life grow in the very jaws of its perils.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
