Famous quotes containing the word life:
“In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
—Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)
“And you tell me, friends, that there is no disputing taste and tasting? But all life is a dispute over taste and tasting!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
