Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He worked for twenty years to get his contemporaries to believe—and in the end he succeeded. Meanwhile, however, his adversaries also succeeded: he could no longer believe in himself.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
