Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Life is unnecessarily long. Moments of insight, of fine personal relation, a smile, a glance,—what ample borrowers of eternity they are!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The more the development of late capitalism renders obsolete or at least suspect the real possibilities of self, self- fulfillment and actualization, the more they are emphasized as if they could spring to life through an act of will alone.
    Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)
