Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    for a second
    Wives saw men of the explosion

    Larger than in life they managed—
    Gold as on a coin, or walking
    Somehow from the sun towards them,
    Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
