Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death’s perfect punctuation mark is a smile.”
    —Julie Burchill (b. 1960)

    “Wherever art appears, life disappears.”
    —Francis Picabia (1878–1953)

    “This is the day His hour of life draws near,
    Let me get ready from head to foot for it
    Most handily with eyes to pick the year
    For small feed to reward a feathered wit.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
