Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Mark 8:34,5.

    Jesus.

    “Life! Life! Don’t let us go to life for our fulfilment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic and critical temperament. It makes us pay too high a price for its wares, and we purchase the meanest of its secrets at a cost that is monstrous and infinite.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “It were sad to gaze on the blessèd and no man I loved of old there;
    I throw down the chain of small stones! when life in my body has ceased,
    I will go to Caoilte, and Conan, and Bran, Sceolan, Lomair,
    And dwell in the house of the Fenians, be they in flames or at feast.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
