Famous quotes containing the word life:
“I have heard a good many pretend that they are going to die; or that they have died, for aught that I know. Nonsense! Ill defy them to do it. They have nt got life enough in them.... Only half a dozen or so have died since the world began.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“At this very moment,... the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest. Screams of pain and fear go pulsing through the air at the rate of eleven hundred feet per second. After travelling for three seconds they are perfectly inaudible. These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Heres a voice: Come, follow me. My idea of a calling now is not: Come. Its like what Im doing right now, not what Im going to be. Life is a calling.”
—Rebecca Sweeney (b. 1938)
