Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“There is hope for the future. When the world is ready for a new and better life all this will some day come to pass in God’s good time.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
