Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “I wage not any feud with Death
    For changes wrought on form and face;
    No lower life that earth’s embrace
    May breed with him can fright my faith.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.”
    —Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
