Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Personal change, growth, development, identity formation—these tasks that once were thought to belong to childhood and adolescence alone now are recognized as part of adult life as well. Gone is the belief that adulthood is, or ought to be, a time of internal peace and comfort, that growing pains belong only to the young; gone the belief that these are marker events—a job, a mate, a child—through which we will pass into a life of relative ease.”
    —Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)

    “Mine honor is my life, both grow in one,
    Take honor from me, and my life is done.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
