Famous quotes containing the words early life, childhood, early and/or life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
“the cluttered eyes
of early mysterious night.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
“Yet they that know all things but know
That all this life can give us is
A child’s laughter, a woman’s kiss.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
