Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“When first we faced, and touching showed
How well we knew the early moves ...”

“When it’s over I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”
