Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Yet now farewell, and farewell life with thee!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When a man’s life is destroyed or damaged by some wound or privation of soul or body, which is due to other men’s actions or negligence, it is not only his sensibility that suffers but also his aspiration toward the good. Therefore there has been sacrilege towards that which is sacred in him.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
