Famous quotes containing the word life:

    If you are to judge a man, you must know his secret thoughts, sorrows, and feelings; to know merely the outward events of a man’s life would only serve to make a chronological table—a fool’s notion of history.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    As life grows more terrible, its literature grows more terrible.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
