Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “It is not in the world of ideas that life is lived. Life is lived for better or worse in life, and to a man in life, his life can be no more absurd than it can be the opposite of absurd, whatever that opposite may be.”
    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    “we are laid asleep
    In body, and become a living soul:
    While with an eye made quiet by the power
    Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
    We see into the life of things.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Here lies the body of William Jones
    Who all his life collected bones,
    Till Death, that grim and boney spectre,
    That universal bone collector,
    Boned old Jones, so neat and tidy,
    And here he lies, all bona fide.”
    —Anonymous. “Epitaph on William Jones,” from Eleanor Broughton’s Varia (1925)
