Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Early rising is no pleasure; early drinking’s just the measure.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“A moment that gave not only itself, but
Also the means of keeping it, of not turning to dust
Or gestures somewhere up ahead
But of becoming complicated like the torrent
In new dark passages, tears and laughter which
Are a sign of life, of distant life in this case.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
