Famous quotes containing the word life:

    When you automate an industry you modernize it; when you automate a life you primitivize it.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    By degrees we may come to know the primitive sense of the permanent objects of nature, so that the world shall be to us an open book, and every form significant of its hidden life and final cause.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
