Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.
    Murray Bookchin (b. 1941)

    All my life I’ve always spoiled the things that meant the most to me.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
