Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“what if I’m 60 years old and not married,
all alone in a furnished room with pee stains on my underwear
and everybody else is married!”
—Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
