Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Samuel Sewall, in a world of wigs,
    Flouted opinion in his personal hair;
    For foppery he gave not any figs,
    But in his right and honor took the air.
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer’s life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.
    Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
