Famous quotes containing the word life:

    How many inner resources one needs to tolerate a life of leisure without fatigue
    Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)

    To see self-sufficiency as the hallmark of maturity conveys a view of adult life that is at odds with the human condition, a view that cannot sustain the kinds of long-term commitments and involvements with other people that are necessary for raising and educating a child or for citizenship in a democratic society.
    Carol Gilligan (20th century)
