Famous quotes containing the word life:
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“It is normal to give away a little of one’s life in order not to lose it all.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
