Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Alvina felt herself swept ... into a dusky region where men had dark faces and translucent yellow eyes, where all speech was foreign, and life was not her life. It was as if she had fallen from her own world on to another, darker star, where meanings were all changed.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    His life was a sort of dream, as are most lives with the mainspring left out.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Unto a life which I call natural I would gladly follow even a will-o’-the-wisp through bogs and sloughs unimaginable, but no moon nor firefly has shown me the causeway to it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
