Famous quotes containing the word life:

    There is no calm philosophy of life here, such as you might put at the end of the Almanac, to hang over the farmer’s hearth,—how men shall live in these winter, in these summer days. No philosophy, properly speaking, of love, or friendship, or religion, or politics, or education, or nature, or spirit; perhaps a nearer approach to a philosophy of kingship, and of the place of the literary man, than of anything else.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Death or life or life or death
    Death is life and life is death
    I gotta use words when I talk to you
    But if you understand or if you dont
    That’s nothing to me and nothing to you
    We all gotta do what we gotta do
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
