Famous quotes containing the words early, mediaeval and/or period:
“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.

—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
““I am enchanted, believe me,
To die, thus,
In this mediaeval fashion,
According to the best legends;”
