Famous quotes containing the word life:

    when this life is from the body fled,
    To see it selfe in that eternall Glasse,
    Where time doth end, and thoughts accuse the dead,
    Where all to come, is one with all that was;
    Then living men aske how he left his breath,
    That while he lived never thought of death.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    When he who adores thee has left but the name
    Of his fault and his sorrows behind,
    O! say wilt thou weep, when they darken the fame
    Of a life that for thee was resign’d!
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
