Famous quotes containing the word life:

    There was something so free and self-contained about him, something in the young fellow’s movements, that made that officer aware of him. And this irritated the Prussian. He did not choose to be touched into life by his servant.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    One of the lies would make it out that nothing
    Ever presents itself before us twice.
    Where would we be at last if that were so?
    Our very life depends on everything’s
    Recurring till we answer from within.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.
    Lauren Bacall (b. 1924)
