Famous quotes containing the words public and/or life:
“O public road, I say back I am not afraid to leave you, yet I love you,
You express me better than I can express myself.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“When man has neither the strength to subdue his underworld powers—which are really the ancient powers of his old, superseded self; nor the wit to placate them with sacrifice and the burnt holocaust; then they come back at him, and destroy him again. Hence every new conquest of life means a “harrowing of Hell.””
—D.H. (David Herbert)
