Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “The child realizes to every man his own earliest remembrance, and so supplies a defect in our education, or enables us to live over the unconscious history with a sympathy so tender as to be almost personal experience.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If certain, when this life was out—
    That your’s and mine, should be—
    I’d toss it yonder, like a Rind,
    And take Eternity—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
