Famous quotes containing the word living:
“Conventionalities are at length as bad as impurities. Even the facts of science may dust the mind by their dryness, unless they are in a sense effaced each morning, or rather rendered fertile by the dews of fresh and living truth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
