Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Half life is over now,
    And I meet full face on dark mornings
    The bestial visor, bent in
    By the blows of what happened to happen.
    What does it prove? Sod all.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I like sometimes to take rank hold on life and spend my day more as the animals do. Perhaps I have owed to this employment and to hunting, when quite young, my closest acquaintance with Nature. They early introduce us to and detain us in scenery with which otherwise, at that age, we should have little acquaintance.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
