Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“It was common practice for me to take my children with me whenever I went shopping, out for a walk in a white neighborhood, or just felt like going about in a white world. The reason was simple enough: if a black man is alone or with other black men, he is a threat to whites. But if he is with children, then he is harmless, adorable.”
—Gerald Early (20th century)
“For a good book has this quality, that it is not merely a petrification of its author, but that once it has been tossed behind, like Deucalions little stone, it acquires a separate and vivid life of its own.”
—Caroline Lejeune (18971973)
