He was a sociologist; he had got into an intellectual muddle early on in life and never managed to get out.
Iris Murdoch

Very early in life I became fascinated with the wonders language can achieve. And I began playing with words.
Gwendolyn Brooks

Well - I started writing - probably in the early 60s and by say '65-'66 I had read most of the poetry that had been published - certainly in the 20 years prior to that.
Robert Adamson

I learned very early that an audience would relax and look at things differently if they felt they could laugh with you from time to time. There's an energy that comes through the release of tension that is laughter.
Twyla Tharp

Michael Jackson has a very good heart. He was crying when he was giving me the award, 'cause his mind went back over the early days.
James Brown

Well, I was interested in playing the piano from as early as I can remember.
Warren Zevon

Well, I don't think it ever did, but in the early '60s I got interested in folk music.
Warren Zevon

I'm absolutely strict about it. When I land, I put my watch right, and I don't care what I feel like, I will go to bed at half past eleven. If that means going to bed early or late, that's what I live by. As soon as you get there, live by that time.
David Attenborough

Well, what I tried to do is simply to get out on the land. And when I came to Washington, I think one of the mistakes we made early on was kind of having an ideological dispute up in the Congress.
Bruce Babbitt

I peaked early. I was told I'd missed my boat.
Moon Unit Zappa

Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

There must be a law against forcing children to perform at an early age. Children should have a wonderful childhood. They should not be given too much responsibility.
Maria Callas

I think one of the things about writing in the studio is that the song hasn't matured, if you like, so quite often the vocals are early attempts. Whereas once you've taken it out on the road a bit, you learn more about a song.
Peter Gabriel

He who matures early lives in anticipation.
Theodor Adorno

Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise.
Laurence J. Peter

I'm reading a book about Romaine Brooks, a wonderful painter from early in the last century.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti

I learned in the early part of my career that labor must bear the cross for others' sins, must be the vicarious sufferer for the wrongs that others do.
Mother Jones

As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.
Juliette Lewis

When we look back, the only things we cherish are those which in some way met our original want; the desire which formed in us in early youth, undirected, and of its own accord.
Willa Cather

We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave may be the shortest way to heaven.
Tryon Edwards
