Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “And all the great traditions of the Past
    They saw reflected in the coming time.

    And thus forever with reverted look
    The mystic volume of the world they read,
    Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
    Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “It has been my fate in a long life of production to be credited chiefly with the equivocal virtue of industry, a quality so excellent in morals, so little satisfactory in art.”
    —Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897)
