Famous quotes containing the word life:

    I went back to my work, but now without enthusiasm. I had looked through an open door that I was not willing to see shut upon me. I began to reflect upon life rather seriously for a girl of twelve or thirteen. What was I here for? What could I make of myself? Must I submit to be carried along with the current, and do just what everybody else did?
    Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

    The trouble is that no devastating or redeeming fires have ever burnt in my life.... My life began by flickering out.
    Ivan Goncharov (1812–1891)

    When Learning’s Triumph o’er her barb’rous Foes

    Exhausted Worlds, and then imagin’d new:
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
