Famous quotes containing the words living and/or conditions:

    Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 24:5.

    Mysterious men to the women at Jesus’ tomb.

    We as a nation need to be reeducated about the necessary and sufficient conditions for making human beings human. We need to be reeducated not as parents—but as workers, neighbors, and friends; and as members of the organizations, committees, boards—and, especially, the informal networks that control our social institutions and thereby determine the conditions of life for our families and their children.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
