William HazlittI think my life will change quite a lot - but maybe it deserves to because I did very well [on his Wimbledon performance]
Andrew MurrayI've hear the diva rumours, they crack me up. I'm such a plain Jane. And my roots are so instilled in me that it's not that weird to go home. I think it depends on the kind of person you are; whether you're easily drawn to the superficial things, but that's not who I am. People driven by the money and fame, I've seen how it makes them and that life means nothing to me. [Elle UK March 2004]

Angelina JolieStar Wars hasn't changed my life at all.
Natalie PortmanI am sometimes lost for words and in those rare occasions life seems even the more precious.
Christopher Guest'I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.'
Anne FrankThere is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by the unfolding of his powers.
Erich FrommRemember that as a teenager you are in the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear the phone is for you.

Groucho MarxLife is short, and time is swift;
Roses fade, and shadows shift
Ebenezer ElliottAnd when life's sweet fable ends,
Soul and body part like friends;
No quarrels, murmurs, no delay;
A kiss, a sigh, and so away. (Temperance)
Richard CrashawWhy one man rather than another? It was odd. You find yourself involved with a fellow for life just because he was the one that you met when you were nineteen.
Simone De BeauvoirThe half hour between waking and rising has all my life proved propitious to any task which was exercising my invention... It was always when I first opened my eyes that the desired ideas thronged upon me.

Shabnam ParyaniDeath has a thousand doors to let out life: I shall find one.
Philip MassingerDo not assume that he who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, he would never have been able to find these words.
Rainer Maria RilkeAmerica is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron-clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life's sacred spontaneity. They can't trust life until they can control it.
D H LawrenceSlough's nightlife is incredible - it’s got two nightclubs, it’s got Chasers and New York, New York. They call it the nightclub that never sleeps. That closes at one.
Martin FreemanYou can't spend your whole life apologising. Hopefully you move forward and learn not to do it again.
Jude LawThe follies which a man regrets most in his life, are those which he didn't commit when he has the opportunity.
Helen RowlandI sing from the heart... I sing the words of a song and really feel them, from the top of my head to the tip of my toes... I sing as though my life depends on it, and if I ever stop doing that then I'll stop living
Mario LanzaWe have employment assigned to us for every circumstance in life. When we are alone, we have our thoughts to watch; in the family, our tempers; and in company, our tongues
Hannah MoreAll my life I knew that there was all the money you could want out there. All you have to do is go after it.
Curtis CarlsonSome people tell me that we professional players are soccer slaves. Well, if this is slavery, give me a life sentence.

To him untimely who is fit to die;
The less of this cold world, the more of heaven;
