Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light, and two much in love to say goodnight.”
    —Frank Loesser (1910–1969)

    “The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness. He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past them in a kind of dream.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
