Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    The whole effort of a sincere man is to erect his personal impressions into laws.
    Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    There is something else which has the power to awaken us to the truth. It is the works of writers of genius.... They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
