Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Unto a life which I call natural I would gladly follow even a will-o’-the-wisp through bogs and sloughs unimaginable, but no moon nor firefly has shown me the causeway to it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
    —Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

    “This is one of the most serious intrusions into personal life that I can think of, and it’s as bad as anything I’ve ever experienced.”
    —Ellen Wood Hall (b. 1945)
