Famous quotes containing the words early and/or days:

    “I realized how for all of us who came of age in the late sixties and early seventies the war was a defining experience. You went or you didn’t, but the fact of it and the decisions it forced us to make marked us for the rest of our lives, just as the depression and World War II had marked my parents.”
    —Linda Grant (b. 1949)

    “The others died, the luck of it blurting through them.
    I could not, I was a silly broken umbrella
    and oblivion would not kiss me. For three days it
    was thus.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
