Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “My life I never held but as a pawn
    To wage against thine enemies’ nor fear to lose it,
    Thy safety being motive.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I found my brother’s body at the bottom there, where they had thrown it away on the rocks, by the river. Like an old, dirty rag nobody wants. He was dead. And I felt I had killed him. I turned back to give myself up.... Because if a man’s life can be lived so long and come out this way, like rubbish, then something was horrible, and had to be ended one way or another. And I decided to help.”
    —Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)

    “We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
