Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    ... while one-half of the people of the United States are robbed of their inherent right of personal representation in this freest country on the face of the globe, it is idle for us to expect that the men who thus rob women will not rob each other as individuals, corporations and Government.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
