Famous quotes containing the word life:
“All my life I’ve looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.”

“I sought the simple life that Nature yields;”
—George Crabbe (1754–1832)
“Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night ... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
