Famous quotes containing the word life:

    What should we think of the shepherd’s life if his flocks always wandered to higher pastures than his thoughts?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    He did not live, he observed life from a window, and too often was inclined to content himself with no more than what his friends told him they saw when they looked out of a window.... In the end the point of Henry James is neither his artistry nor his seriousness, but his personality, and this was curious and charming and a trifle absurd.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
