Famous quotes containing the word life:

    All the lies and evasions by which man has nourished himself—civilization, in a word—are the fruits of the creative artist. It is the creative nature of man which has refused to let him lapse back into that unconscious unity with life which charactizes the animal world from which he made his escape.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    The wind sprang up at four o’clock
    The wind sprang up and broke the bells
    Swinging between life and death
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 10:39.

    Jesus.
