Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or family:

    “... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “Why not walk in the aura of magic that gives to the small things of life their uniqueness and importance? Why not befriend a toad today?”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “The same dreadful set,
    the same family of orange and pink faces
    carved and dressed up like puppets
    who wait for their jaws to open and shut.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
