Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Yet they that know all things but know
    That all this life can give us is
    A child’s laughter, a woman’s kiss.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “His speech is a burning fire;
    With his lips he travaileth;
    In his heart is a blind desire,
    In his eyes foreknowledge of death:
    He weaves, and is clothed with derision;
    Sows, and he shall not reap;
    His life is a watch or a vision
    Between a sleep and a sleep.”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
