Famous quotes containing the word life:

    The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience ... not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.
    Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

    Yes, as my swift days near their goal,
    ‘Tis all that I implore—
    Through life and death, a chainless soul,
    With courage to endure!
    Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
