Famous quotes containing the word life:

    It is a momentous fact that a man may be good, or he may be bad; his life may be true, or it may be false; it may be either a shame or a glory to him. The good man builds himself up; the bad man destroys himself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Take away love, and our earth is a tomb!
    Flower o’ the quince,
    I let Lisa go, and what good in life since?
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    It is always a matter, my darling,
    Of life or death, as I had forgotten. I wish
    What I wished you before, but harder.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
