Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Silent waters rocking on the morning of our birth,
    like an empty cradle waiting to be filled.
    And from the heart of God the Spirit moved upon the earth,
    like a mother breathing life into her child.
    Gordon Light (20th century)

    From age eleven to age sixteen I lived a spartan life without the usual adolescent uncertainty. I wanted to be the best swimmer in the world, and there was nothing else.
    Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
