Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    “The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “It is cowardly to fly from natural duties and take up those that suit our taste or temperament better; but it is also unwise to take an exaggerated view of personal duties, which shuts out the proper care of the mind and body entrusted to us.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    “One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.”
    —Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
