Famous quotes containing the word life:

    And he thought to himself...., ‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 12:17-20.

    The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them up.
    Dorothy Day (1897–1980)

    Why not make an end of it all?... My life is a succession of griefs and bitter feelings.... What is death?... A very small matter, when all is said; only a fool would be concerned about it.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
