Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
    My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
    My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
    And all my good is but vain hope of gain:
    The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
    And now I live, and now my life is done.”
    —Chidiock Tichborne (1558–1586)

    “He’s indestructible. Frankenstein’s creation is man’s challenge to the laws of life and death.”
    —Edward T. Lowe, and Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Edelman (Onslow Stevens)
