Famous quotes containing the words images, life and/or cycle:

    “What images are these
    That turn dull-eyed away,
    Or shift Time’s filthy load,
    Straighten aged knees,
    Hesitate or stay?
    What heads shake or nod?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    “Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
    A medley of extemporanea;
    And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
    And I am Marie of Roumania.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
