Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Death or life or life or death
Death is life and life is death

But if you understand or if you dont
That’s nothing to me and nothing to you
We all gotta do what we gotta do”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young.”
