Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Consider his life which was valueless
    In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
    Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
    Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
    On the death of one so young and so silly
    Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    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)
