Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.”
    —Jeanne Elium (20th century)

    “There mark what ills the scholar’s life assail,
    Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the gaol.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
