Famous quotes containing the words event and/or life:

    “Surely one of the peculiar habits of circumstances is the way they follow, in their eternal recurrence, a single course. If an event happens once in a life, it may be depended upon to repeat later its general design.”
    —Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

    “That life protracted is protracted woe.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
