Famous quotes containing the word life:

    My love lies underground
    With her face upturned to mine,
    And her mouth unclosed in a last long kiss
    That ended her life and mine.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    O, reason not the need! our basest beggars
    Are in the poorest thing superfluous.
    Allow not nature more than nature needs,
    Man’s life is cheap as beast’s.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
