Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Biography is: a system in which the contradictions of a human life are unified.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
