Famous quotes containing the word life:

    The demand for equal rights in every vocation of life is just and fair; but, after all, the most vital right is the right to love and be loved.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    ... life cannot be administered by definite rules and regulations; that wisdom to deal with a man’s difficulties comes only through some knowledge of his life and habits as a whole ...
    Jane Addams (1860–1935)

    It had been a moving, tranquil apotheosis, immersed in the transfiguring sunset glow of decline and decay and extinction. An old family, already grown too weary and too noble for life and action, had reached the end of its history, and its last utterances were sounds of music: a few violin notes, full of the sad insight which is ripeness for death.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
