Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or career:

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“War is more like a novel than it is like real life and that is its eternal fascination. It is a thing based on reality but invented, it is a dream made real, all the things that make a novel but not really life.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
