Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “Some men have a necessity to be mean, as if they were exercising a faculty which they had to partially neglect since early childhood.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better.... Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)
