Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail:
    What I aspired to be,
    And was not, comforts me:”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “There is a place where we are always alone with our own mortality, where we must simply have something greater than ourselves to hold onto—God or history or politics or literature or a belief in the healing power of love, or even righteous anger.... A reason to believe, a way to take the world by the throat and insist that there is more to this life than we have ever imagined.”
    —Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
