Life Peers

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or peers:

    “Not lived; for life doth her great actions spell,
    By what was done and wrought
    In season, and so brought
    To light: her measures are, how well
    Each syllab’e answered, and was formed how fair;
    These make the lines of life, and that’s her air.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “The poet will write for his peers alone. He will remember only that he saw truth and beauty from his position, and expect the time when a vision as broad shall overlook the same field as freely.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
