Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. There one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of Socialism—that true Socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners.

—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“On the grey rock of Cashel I suddenly saw

—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
