Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Here lies the body of William Jones
    Who all his life collected bones,
    Till Death, that grim and boney spectre,
    That universal bone collector,
    Boned old Jones, so neat and tidy,
    And here he lies, all bona fide.”
    —Anonymous. “Epitaph on William Jones,” from Eleanor Broughton’s Varia (1925)

    “It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
