Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo, not for a man.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Yet come to me in dreams that I may live
    My very life again though cold in death:
    Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
    Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
    Speak low, lean low,
    As long ago, my love, how long ago.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    ... the precipitate of sorrow is happiness, the precipitate of struggle is success. Life means opportunity, and the thing men call death is the last wonderful, beautiful adventure.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
