Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “There is no such thing as perpetual tranquillity of mind while we live here; because life itself is but motion, and can never be without desire, nor without fear, no more than without sense.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)

    “A simple child,
    That lightly draws its breath,
    And feels its life in every limb,
    What should it know of death?”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
