Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “No Life can pompless pass away—
    The lowliest career
    To the same Pageant wends its way
    As that exalted here—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better.... Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)
