Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island. In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
