Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “If, then, we would indeed restore mankind ... let us first be as simple and well as Nature ourselves, dispel the clouds which hang over our own brows, and take up a little life into our pores. Do not stay to be an overseer of the poor, but endeavor to become one of the worthies of the world.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “You might come here Sunday on a whim.
    Say your life broke down. The last good kiss
    you had was years ago.”
    —Richard Hugo (1923–1982)
