Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “... the opportunity offered by life to women is far in excess of any offered to men. To be the inspiration is more than to be the tool. To create the world, a greater thing than to reform it.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    “And whether life had been before that sleep
    The Heaven which I imagine, or a Hell

    ‘Like this harsh world in which I wake to weep,
    I know not.”
