Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    “Sometimes I think of life as a process where everybody is discouraging and taking everybody else down a peg or two.”
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
