Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.
    Murray Bookchin (b. 1941)

    Death is the end of life; ah, why
    Should life all labor be?
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
