Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Had I but died an hour before this chance
    I had lived a blessed time; for from this instant
    There’s nothing serious in mortality.
    All is but toys. Renown and grace is dead;
    The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
    Is left this vault to brag of.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
