Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Think of the life of the working woman as the decathlon. If you even finish it’s a miracle.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
“So that the life of a writer, whatever he might fancy to the contrary, was not so much a state of composition, as a state of warfare; and his probation in it, precisely that of any other man militant upon earth,—both depending alike, not half so much upon the degrees of his WIT—as his RESISTANCE.”
