Famous quotes containing the word life:

    In comedy, reconcilement with life comes at the point when to the tragic sense only an inalienable difference or dissension with life appears.
    Constance Rourke (1885–1941)

    Surely among a rich man’s flowering lawns,
    Amid the rustle of his planted hills,
    Life overflows without ambitious pains;
    And rains down life until the basin spills,
    And mounts more dizzy high the more it rains
    As though to choose whatever shape it wills....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
