Famous quotes containing the word life:

    ‘Pure experience’ is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.
    William James (1842–1910)

    Not lived; for life doth her great actions spell,
    By what was done and wrought
    In season, and so brought
    To light: her measures are, how well
    Each syllab’e answered, and was formed how fair;
    These make the lines of life, and that’s her air.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
