Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself. It may be translated into every language, and not only be read but actually breathed from all human lips;Mnot be represented on canvas or in marble only, but be carved out of the breath of life itself. The symbol of an ancient man’s thought becomes a modern man’s speech.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The wind sprang up at four o’clock
    The wind sprang up and broke the bells
    Swinging between life and death”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
