Famous quotes containing the word life:
“What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.”
—Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)
“The secret of the truly successful, I believe, is that they learned very early in life how not to be busy. They saw through that adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well. The truth is, many things are worth doing only in the most slovenly, halfhearted fashion possible, and many other things are not worth doing at all.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“The life of a repo man is always intense.”
—Alex Cox, British screenwriter. Miller (Tracy Walter)
