Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
    But for the general: he would be crowned.
    How that might change his nature, there’s the question.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There is in him, hidden deep-down, a great instinctive artist, and hence the makings of an aristocrat. In his muddled way, held back by the manacles of his race and time, and his steps made uncertain by a guiding theory which too often eludes his own comprehension, he yet manages to produce works of unquestionable beauty and authority, and to interpret life in a manner that is poignant and illuminating.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
