Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “Betwixt the black fronts long-withdrawn
    A light-blue lane of early dawn,”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “Life isn’t meant to be easy. It’s hard to take being on the top—or on the bottom. I guess I’m something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things.... Life is one crisis after another.”
