Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Art is a concrete and personal and rather childish thing after all—no matter what people do to graft it into science and make it sociological and psychological; it is no good at all unless it is let alone to be itself—a game of make-believe, or re-production, very exciting and delightful to people who have an ear for it or an eye for it.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    His life was gentle, and the elements
    So mixed in him that nature might stand up
    And say to all the world “This was a man.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
