Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “People are beginning to see that the first requisite to success in life is to be a good animal.”
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
