Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “At the earliest ending of winter,
    In March, a scrawny cry from outside
    Seemed like a sound in his mind.
    He knew that he heard it,
    A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
    In the early March wind.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “I have been trying all my life to like Scotchmen, and am obliged to desist from the experiment in despair.”
