Famous quotes containing the words life and/or expectancy:
“To divide ones life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
“O, what a noble mind is here oerthrown!
The courtiers, soldiers, scholars,eye, tongue, sword,
Th expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mold of form,
Th observed of all observers, quite, quite down!”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
