Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “There are more truths in twenty-four hours of a man’s life than in all the philosophies.”
    —Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

    “... into that rushing beast of the night,
    sucked up by that great dragon, to split
    from my life with no flag,
    no belly,
    no cry.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Oh sure, everyone goes back to the earth at some point, but life itself is a thread that is never broken, never lost. Do you know why? Because each man makes a knot in the thread during his lifetime: it is the work he has done and that’s what gives life to life in the long stretch of time: the usefulness of man on this earth.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
