Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Two such as you with such a master speed
    Cannot be parted nor be swept away
    From one another once you are agreed
    That life is only life forevermore
    Together wing to wing and oar to oar.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    “The life of a repo man is always intense.”
    —Alex Cox, British screenwriter. Miller (Tracy Walter)
