Famous quotes containing the word life:

    I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Pale hands, pink-tipped, like Lotus buds that float
    On those cool waters where we used to dwell,
    I would have rather felt you round my throat
    Crushing out life than waving me farewell!
    Laurence Hope (1865–1904)

    Thus was my first year’s life in the woods completed; and the second year was similar to it. I finally left Walden September 6th, 1847.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
