Life
Born in 1915 as Frances Grace Arnholtz on a ranch near Boise, Idaho, she was a self-proclaimed "unusual" person. It wasn't until after her divorce from Herbert Grant Bateson that she changed her surname to GABe. The actual self-cleaning house was granted a patent from the U.S. government, along with 25 additional patents for individual inventions unique to the house. Her psychiatrist once remarked, "You're many times over a genius. The world belongs to you, and don't let anyone tell you anything different."

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“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)
“It is conceivable at least that a late generation, such as we presumably are, has particular need of the sketch, in order not to be strangled to death by inherited conceptions which preclude new births.... The sketch has direction, but no ending; the sketch as reflection of a view of life that is no longer conclusive, or is not yet conclusive.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“Death is the end of life; ah, why
Should life all labor be?”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
