Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I am what is mine. Personality is the original personal property.”
—Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)
“We are all conceived in close prison; in our mothers’ wombs, we are close prisoners all; when we are born, we are born but to the liberty of the house; prisoners still, though within larger walls; and then all our life is but a going out to the place of execution, to death.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
