Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Pessimism ... is, in brief, playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it; you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child’s play.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“I cannot live with You—
It would be Life—
And Life is over there—
Behind the Shelf”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
