Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “One thought in agony of strife
    The bravest would have by for friend,
    The memory that he chose the life ...”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    we are laid asleep
    In body, and become a living soul:
    While with an eye made quiet by the power
    Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
    We see into the life of things.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
