Famous quotes containing the word life:

    As life runs on, the road grows strange
    With faces new,—and near the end
    The milestones into headstones change,
    ‘Neath every one a friend.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    ... into that rushing beast of the night,
    sucked up by that great dragon, to split
    from my life with no flag,
    no belly,
    no cry.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I, for one, have never in my life come across a perfectly healthy human being.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
