Famous quotes containing the word life:

    We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    A woman can get marries and her life does change. And a man can get married and his life changes. But nothing changes life as dramatically as having a child. . . . In this country, it is a particular experience, a rite of passage, if you will, that is unsupported for the most part, and rather ignored. Somebody will send you a couple of presents for the baby, but people do not acknowledge the massive experience to the parents involved.
    Dana Raphael (20th century)
