Famous quotes containing the word life:

    The hardest part about being a kid is knowing you have got your whole life ahead of you.
    Jane Wagner (b. 1935)

    When I think of this life I have led; the desolation of solitude it has been; the masoned, walled-town of a Captain’s exclusiveness, which admits but small entrance to any sympathy from the green country without—oh, weariness! heaviness! Guinea-coast slavery of solitary command!
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
