Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “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)

    “It is no longer possible for lyric poetry to express the immensity of our experience. Life has grown too cumbersome, too complicated. We have acquired values which are best expressed in prose.”
    —Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
