Famous quotes containing the word life:

    No Life can pompless pass away—
    The lowliest career
    To the same Pageant wends its way
    As that exalted here—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    My life is superficial, takes no root in the deep world; I ask, When shall I die, and be relieved of the responsibility of seeing a Universe which I do not use? I wish to exchange this flash-of-lightning faith for continuous daylight, this fever-glow for a benign climate.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
