Famous quotes containing the word life:

    In our rhythm of earthly life we tire of light. We are glad when the day ends, when the play ends; and ecstasy is too much pain.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    It’s babe feminism—we’re young, we’re fun, we do what we want in bed—and it has a shorter shelf life than the feminism of sisterhood. I’ve been a babe, and I’ve been a sister. Sister lasts longer.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    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)
