Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Why should men love the Church? Why should they love her laws?
    She tells them of Life and Death, and of all that they would forget.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
