Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life but what a man is thinking all day? This is his fate and his employer. Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so much we are.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I am content to live it all again,
    And yet again, if it be life to pitch
    Into the frog-spawn of a blind man’s ditch.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
