Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child’s wishes and needs. It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded.”
    —Alice Miller (20th century)
