Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “When man has neither the strength to subdue his underworld powers—which are really the ancient powers of his old, superseded self; nor the wit to placate them with sacrifice and the burnt holocaust; then they come back at him, and destroy him again. Hence every new conquest of life means a “harrowing of Hell.””
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “God wills a full life for us all,
    Loves us with tender care,
    Asks us to take the sacrifice
    Of broken life to share.”
    —Paul R. Gregory (20th century)
