Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    It is so very late that we
    May call it early by and by. Good night.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    On the grey rock of Cashel I suddenly saw
    A Sphinx with woman breast and lion paw,
    A Buddha, hand at rest,
    Hand lifted up that blest;
    And right between these two a girl at play
    That, it may be, had danced her life away....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
