Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it ... it’s just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.
    Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
