Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Weve only just begun to learn about the water and its secrets, just as weve only touched on outer space. We dont entirely rule out the possibility that there might be some form of life on another planet. Then why not some entirely different form of life in a world we already know is inhabited by millions of living creatures?”
—Harry Essex (b. 1910)
“At birth man is offered only one choicethe choice of his death. But if this choice is governed by distaste for his own existence, his life will never have been more than meaningless.”
—Jean-Pierre Melville (19171973)
