Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “In the production of the necessaries of life Nature is ready enough to assist man.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The man Shelley, in very truth, is not entirely sane, and Shelley’s poetry is not entirely sane either. The Shelley of actual life is a vision of beauty and radiance, indeed, but availing nothing, effecting nothing. And in poetry, no less than in life, he is a beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the void his luminous wings in vain.””
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
