Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“Todays pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase early ripe, early rot!”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Three years she grew in sun and shower,
Then Nature said, A lovelier flower
On earth was never sown;
This Child I to myself will take;”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
