Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Thrillers are like life—more like life than you are ... it’s what we’ve all made of the world.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)
