Famous quotes containing the words life and/or talk:

    Life is a dangerous adventure,” says the American; and he is half right: life is dangerous, but it’s not an adventure.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    I’ve thought about how, were we to suddenly receive the freedom about which we talk so much when we spar with one another, we would not know what to do with it at first. We would expend it on denouncing one another in the newspapers for spying, for love of the ruble, we would frighten society with protestations that we have no people, no science, no literature, nothing at all!
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
