Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Hermann and Humbert are alike only in the sense that two dragons painted by the same artist at different periods of his life resemble each other.

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“I began reviewing my life in relation to its objectives. I saw no objects, I saw only states.”
