Famous quotes containing the words absorbing and/or man:
“What we are told of the inhabitants of Brazil, that they never die but of old age, is attributed to the tranquility and serenity of their climate; I rather attribute it to the tranquility and serenity of their souls, which are free from all passion, thought, or any absorbing and unpleasant labors. Those people spend their lives in an admirable simplicity and ignorance, without letters, without law, without king, without any manner of religion.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“A man does not die of love or his liver or even of old age; he dies of being a man.”
—Percival Arland Ussher (1899–1980)
