Famous quotes containing the words early years, early and/or years:

    Parents ... are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don’t fulfil the promise of their early years.
    Anthony Powell (b. 1905)

    For the writer, there is nothing quite like having someone say that he or she understands, that you have reached them and affected them with what you have written. It is the feeling early humans must have experienced when the firelight first overcame the darkness of the cave. It is the communal cooking pot, the Street, all over again. It is our need to know we are not alone.
    Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)

    Mee of these
    Nor skilld nor studious, higher Argument
    Remaines, sufficient of it self to raise
    That name, unless an age too late, or cold
    Climat, or Years damp my intended wing
    Deprest, and much they may, if all be mine,
    Not Hers who brings it nightly to my Ear.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
