Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “... life is moral responsibility. Life is several other things, we do not deny. It is beauty, it is joy, it is tragedy, it is comedy, it is psychical and physical pleasure, it is the interplay of a thousand rude or delicate motions and emotions, it is the grimmest and the merriest motley of phantasmagoria that could appeal to the gravest or the maddest brush ever put to palette; but it is steadily and sturdily and always moral responsibility.”
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    “Thy fate is the common fate of all;
    Into each life some rain must fall.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
