Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.”
    —Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    “If it were possible to have a life absolutely free from every feeling of sin, what a terrifying vacuum it would be!”
    —Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)
