Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “After all, life hasn’t much to offer except youth and I suppose for older people the love of youth in others.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
