Famous quotes containing the words duty and/or life:
“Life is mostly froth and bubble.
Two things stand like stone:
Dodging duty at the double,
Leaving work alone.”
—Anonymous.
“The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all.... I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
