Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    This life we live is a strange dream, and I don’t believe at all any account men give of it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Capital punishment kills immediately, whereas lifetime imprisonment does so slowly. Which executioner is more humane? The one who kills you in a few minutes, or the one who wrests your life from you in the course of many years?
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
