Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle.”
    —Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)

    “How are we to write
    The Russian novel in America
    As long as life goes so unterribly?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
