real life-changing age
The only real change in life comes with the consciousness of old age.
loneliness quality life-is
The most evident quality of human life is its loneliness.
life
You can buy life only with life.
life lakes water
Life is a bubble in a lake, that glitters for an instant, bursts, and leaves not even a blur on the water; it is the leap of a minnow, which sends a tiny ripple trembling for a few inches.
life men snakes
A man's life is like a well, not like a snake--it should be measured by its depth, not by its length.
life eye dark
Life is a charity ball given by the leaders of society. A few dance, get their charity's worth to the last penny; and the poor stand outside the gate and watch with hungry eyes the glint of jewels in the warm air. Then comes the lackey Death, and he says: "Madam and my Master, your carriage waits." So they go away into the dark in the carriage of the black plumes, and the dancing continues.
life life-is
Life is being, not having.
life swim hard
You can swim in life and seawater, but both are hard to swallow.
life running beach
Our lives are waves that come up out of the ocean of eternity, break upon the beach of earth, and lapse back to the ocean of eternity. Some are sunlit, some run in storm and rain; one is a quiet ripple, another is a thunderous breaker; and once in many centuries comes a great tidal wave that sweeps over a continent; but all go back to the sea and lie equally level there.
form this-life antidote
Death is an antidote for this life, and it makes another more stable form of life which is insoluble in everything.

Facts are carpet-tacks under the pneumatic tires of theory
