Famous quotes containing the word life:

    I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.
    Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    One idea is enough to organize a life and project it
    Into unusual but viable forms, but many ideas merely
    Lead one thither into a morass of their own good intentions.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
