Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    It is easy to see that, even in the freedom of early youth, an American girl never quite loses control of herself; she enjoys all permitted pleasures without losing her head about any of them, and her reason never lets the reins go, though it may often seem to let them flap.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    Your mother named you. You and she just saw
    Each other in passing in the room upstairs,
    One coming this way into life, and one
    Going the other out of life you know?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
