Famous quotes related to human life:
“The poet begins where the man ends. The man’s lot is to live his human life, the poet’s to invent what is nonexistent.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“Human life itself may be almost pure chaos, but the work of the artist—the only thing he’s good for—is to take these handfuls of confusion and disparate things, things that seem to be irreconcilable, and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning. Even if it’s only his view of a meaning. That’s what he’s for—to give his view of life.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
