Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The whole life of an American is passed like a game of chance, a revolutionary crisis, or a battle.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
