Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    I don’t believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing—to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
