Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt—for “woman.””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “If, then, we would indeed restore mankind ... let us first be as simple and well as Nature ourselves, dispel the clouds which hang over our own brows, and take up a little life into our pores. Do not stay to be an overseer of the poor, but endeavor to become one of the worthies of the world.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
