Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Thrillers are like life—more like life than you are ... it’s what we’ve all made of the world.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    Silent waters rocking on the morning of our birth,
    like an empty cradle waiting to be filled.
    And from the heart of God the Spirit moved upon the earth,
    like a mother breathing life into her child.
    Gordon Light (20th century)

    I began reviewing my life in relation to its objectives. I saw no objects, I saw only states.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
