Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Love is a scandal of the personal sort.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    With liberty and pleasant weather, the simplest occupation, any unquestioned country mode of life which detains us in the open air, is alluring. The man who picks peas steadily for a living is more than respectable, he is even envied by his shop-worn neighbors. We are as happy as the birds when our Good Genius permits us to pursue any outdoor work, without a sense of dissipation.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
