Famous quotes containing the word life:
“life is a trick, life is a kitten in a sack.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Judgments, value judgments concerning life, whether for or against it, can in the end never be true: their only value is as symptoms, they only come into consideration as symptoms—in themselves such judgments are stupidities. We must reach out and attempt to put our finger on this astonishing finesse, that the value of life cannot be assessed.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“When this ring
Parts from this finger, then parts life from hence.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
