Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “for a second
    Wives saw men of the explosion

    Larger than in life they managed—
    Gold as on a coin, or walking
    Somehow from the sun towards them,”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1985)

    “The true picture of life as it is, if it could be adequately painted, would show men what they are, and how they might rise, not, indeed to perfection, but one step first, and then another on the ladder.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
