Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child’s world and thus a world event.”
    —Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)

    “The imaginary audience for my life is growing small and silent.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “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. In the democracy of the caffè or the street the great question of our life has been solved, and the brotherhood of man is a reality. But it is accomplished at the expense of the sisterhood of women.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
