Famous quotes containing the words personal, life and/or laden:

    Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.
    Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)

    The theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything—gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness—rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations.... To break through language in order to touch life is to create or recreate the theatre.
    Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    Then, if when I have lov’d my round,
    Thou prov’st the pleasant she,
    With spoils of meaner beauties crown’d
    I laden will return to thee,
    Ev’n sated with variety.
    Richard Lovelace (1618–1658)
