Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “On the Coast of Coromandel
    Where the early pumpkins blow,
    In the middle of the woods
    Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
    Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
    One old jug without a handle,—
    These were all his worldly goods:
    In the middle of the woods,”
    —Edward Lear (1812–1888)

    “To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.”
    —Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
