Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his peoples advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 14661536)
“What was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itselflife hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose?”
—Willa Cather (18731947)
