Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “I have almost forgot the taste of fears.
    The time has been, my senses would have cooled
    To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair
    Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir
    As life were in’t. I have supped full with horrors;
    Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts,
    Cannot once start me.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers.”
    —Joan Didion (b. 1934)

    “Pessimism ... is, in brief, playing the sure game. You cannot lose at it; you may gain. It is the only view of life in which you can never be disappointed. Having reckoned what to do in the worst possible circumstances, when better arise, as they may, life becomes child’s play.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
