Famous quotes containing the words early and/or days:

    “Probably more than youngsters at any age, early adolescents expect the adults they care about to demonstrate the virtues they want demonstrated. They also tend to expect adults they admire to be absolutely perfect. When adults disappoint them, they can be critical and intolerant.”
    —The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.4 (1985)

    “There will be better days when I am gone
    And healing pools where I cannot be healed.
    Fragrant stars will gleam forever and ever
    Above the place where I lie desolate.”
    —Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)
