Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or education:
“Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.”
—Murray Bookchin (b. 1941)
“I made up my mind long ago that life was too short to do anything for myself that I could pay others to do for me.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
