Famous quotes containing the words prehistoric and/or life:

    “Of course
    the New Testament is very small.
    Its mouth opens four times
    as out-of-date as a prehistoric monster,
    yet somehow man-made....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the “disenchantment of the world.” Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.”
    —Max Weber (1864–1920)
