Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “The man nearest my soul,
    Who like a brother toiled in my affairs,
    And laid his love and life under my foot.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Children became an obsessive theme in Victorian culture at the same time that they were being exploited as never before. As the horrors of life multiplied for some children, the image of childhood was increasingly exalted. Children became the last symbols of purity in a world which was seen as increasingly ugly.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
