Famous quotes containing the word living:
“You are done fora living dead mannot when you stop loving but stop hating. Hatred preserves: in it, in its chemistry, resides the mystery of life. Not for nothing is hatred still the best tonic ever discovered, for which any organism, however feeble, has a tolerance.”

“The best part of the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully.”
—Eric Hoffer (19021983)
“For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragons teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.”
—John Milton (16081674)
