Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts of apathy to one of brotherly love.
    Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)

    My life has been one great big joke,
    A dance that’s walked
    A song that’s spoke,
    I laugh so hard I almost choke
    When I think about myself.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
