Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “O, reason not the need! our basest beggars
    Are in the poorest thing superfluous.
    Allow not nature more than nature needs,
    Man’s life is cheap as beast’s.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “What is the life of man! Is it not to shift from side to side?—from sorrow to sorrow?—to button up one cause of vexation!—and unbutton another!”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
