Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Sin their conception, their birth weeping,
    Their life a general mist of error,
    Their death a hideous storm of terror.”
    —John Webster (c. 1580–1638)

    “Whoever takes a view of the life of man ... will find it so beset and hemm’d in with obligations of one kind or other, as to leave little room to suspect, that man can live to himself: and so closely has our creator link’d us together ... that we find this bond of mutual dependence ... is too strong to be broke.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
