Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    The secret point of money and power in America is neither the things that money can buy nor power for power’s sake ... but absolute personal freedom, mobility, privacy. It is the instinct which drove America to the Pacific, all through the nineteenth century, the desire to be able to find a restaurant open in case you want a sandwich, to be a free agent, live by one’s own rules.
    Joan Didion (b. 1934)

    I smiled,
    I waited,
    I was circumspect;
    O never, never, never write that I
    missed life or loving.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
