Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    This life is a war we are not yet
    winning for our daughters’ children.
    Don’t do your enemies’ work for them.
    Finish your own.
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
