Famous quotes containing the words early years, early and/or years:

    If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    An early dew woos the half-opened flowers
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.

    AWP. Anthology of World Poetry, An. Mark Van Doren, ed. (Rev. and enl. Ed., 1936)

    Six years of such small preoccupations!
    Six years of shuttling in and out of this place!
    O my hunger! My hunger!
    I could have gone around the world twice
    or had new children all boys.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
