Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    As life runs on, the road grows strange
    With faces new,—and near the end
    The milestones into headstones change,
    ‘Neath every one a friend.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
