Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Very early in our children’s lives we will be forced to realize that the “perfect” untroubled life we’d like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don’t want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)

    Biography is: a system in which the contradictions of a human life are unified.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
