Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “I cannot live with You—
    It would be Life—
    And Life is over there—
    Behind the Shelf”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “Look at your [English] ladies of quality—are they not forever parting with their husbands—forfeiting their reputations—and is their life aught but dissipation? In common genteel life, indeed, you may now and then meet with very fine girls—who have politeness, sense and conversation—but these are few—and then look at your trademen’s daughters—what are they?—poor creatures indeed! all pertness, imitation and folly.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “It seems to be a law in American life that whatever enriches us anywhere except in the wallet inevitably becomes uneconomic.”
    —Russell Baker (b. 1925)
