Famous quotes containing the words early and/or work:
“For the writer, there is nothing quite like having someone say that he or she understands, that you have reached them and affected them with what you have written. It is the feeling early humans must have experienced when the firelight first overcame the darkness of the cave. It is the communal cooking pot, the Street, all over again. It is our need to know we are not alone.”
—Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)
“You work hard to be good and then to be great, but when you’re great, you don’t just want to be good.”
—Pat Bradley (b. 1951)
