Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “For life is but a dream whose shapes return,
    Some frequently, some seldom, some by night
    And some by day,”
    —James Thomson (1834–1882)

    “Seeing to it that a youngster grows up believing not just in the here and now but also in the grand maybes of life guarantees that some small yet crucial part of him remains forever a child.”
    —Anne Cassidy (20th century)

    “To drift with every passion till my soul
    Is a stringed lute on which all winds can play,
    Is it for this that I have given away
    Mine ancient wisdom, and austere control?
    Methinks my life is a twice-written scroll
    Scrawled over on some boyish holiday”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
