Famous quotes containing the words life and/or dignity:

    Art is uncompromising and life is full of compromises.
    Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    The genuine remains of Ossian, or those ancient poems which bear his name, though of less fame and extent, are, in many respects, of the same stamp with the Iliad itself. He asserts the dignity of the bard no less than Homer, and in his era, we hear of no other priest than he.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
