Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “What is art,
    But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
    When, graduating up in a spiral line
    Of still expanding and ascending gyres,
    It pushes toward the intense significance
    Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
    Art’s life,—and where we live, we suffer and toil.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “...all enjoyment is dependent upon the frailty of human life and human desires ... if we were to have all we want and to live forever, all enjoyment would be gone.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
