Born

Famous quotes containing the word born:

“Yeah, if it hadn’t been for me everybody’d be a lot better off—my wife and my kids and my friends.... I wish I’d never been born. I suppose it’d been better if I’d never been born at all.”
—Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)

“We are all born marked for evil.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

“Much of our reading, much of our labor, seems mere waiting: it was not that we were born for. Any other could do it as well or better. So little skill enters into these works, so little do they mix with the divine life, that it really signifies little what we do, whether we turn a grindstone, or ride, or run, or make fortune, or govern the state.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
