Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “I was not at all apprehensive about ... disease ... [it] had no terrors for me. The thing I most feared in the world was hunger. That was something of which I had personal knowledge.”
    —Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 4 (1919)

    “Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fulfilled only through man’s subordination.... The individual is the heart of society, conserving the essence of social life; society is the lungs which are distributing the element to keep the life essence—that, is, the individual—pure and strong.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
