Famous quotes containing the word life:

    That way of life against which my generation rebelled had given us grim courage, fortitude, self-discipline, a sense of individual responsibility, and a capacity for relentless hard work.
    Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

    You might come here Sunday on a whim.
    Say your life broke down. The last good kiss
    you had was years ago.
    Richard Hugo (1923–1982)

    O Rose, thou art sick!
    The invisible worm
    That flies in the night,
    In the howling storm,
    Has found out thy bed
    Of crimson joy:
    And his dark secret love
    Does thy life destroy.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
