Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“Although there is no universal agreement as to a definition of life, its biological manifestations are generally considered to be organization, metabolism, growth, irritability, adaptation, and reproduction.”

—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“I’m beginning to think that the proper definition of “Man” is “an animal that writes letters.””
