Famous quotes containing the word life:

    One idea is enough to organize a life and project it
    Into unusual but viable forms, but many ideas merely
    Lead one thither into a morass of their own good intentions.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Nothing goes sour more easily than the life of pleasure.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    She never dies, but lasteth
    In life of lover’s heart;
    He ever dies that wasteth
    In love his chiefest part.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
