Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
    —Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    “... it is the greatest of all mistakes to begin life with the expectation that it is going to be easy, or with the wish to have it so.”
    —Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
