Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “The ingrained idea that, because there is no king and they despise titles, the Americans are a free people is pathetically untrue.... There is a perpetual interference with personal liberty over there that would not be tolerated in England for a week.”
    —Margot Asquith (1864–1945)

    “I cannot live with You—
    It would be Life—
    And Life is over there—
    Behind the Shelf”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
