Early Life
Axel Pehrsson was a member of a farming family in Öja (now in Ystad Municipality) in Skåne, and though his father's death made it impossible for him to continue his schooling after the age of 14, he later completed some adult education courses in a folkhögskola (English: "folk high school"). His parents' farm was of considerable size. At the time of his marriage he bought Bramstorp farm in the same parish, and later took over the parental farm and bought several others as well.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“The more the development of late capitalism renders obsolete or at least suspect the real possibilities of self, self- fulfillment and actualization, the more they are emphasized as if they could spring to life through an act of will alone.”
—Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)
