Famous quotes containing the words living and/or scenes:
“The privilege of absurdity; to which no living creature is subject, but man only.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
“One reason writers write is out of revenge. Life hurts; certain ideas and experiences hurt; one wants to clarify, to set out illuminations, to replay the old bad scenes and get the Treppenworte said—the words one didn’t have the strength or ripeness to say when those words were necessary for one’s dignity or survival.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
