Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
But for the general: he would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there’s the question.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And Manuel embraced his mother and they laughed together: Délira’s laugh sounded surprisingly young; that was because she hadn’t really had the chance to make it heard; life was just not happy enough for that. No, she never had time to use it; she had kept it fresh as can be, like a birdsong in an old nest.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
