Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “My Life had stood—a Loaded Gun—
    In Corners—till a Day
    The Owner passed—identified—
    And carried Me away—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “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)

    “The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
