Famous quotes containing the word life:

    In this loveless everyday life eroticism is a substitute for love.
    Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)

    And Manuel embraced his mother and they laughed together: Délira’s laugh sounded surprisingly young; that was because she hadn’t really had the chance to make it heard; life was just not happy enough for that. No, she never had time to use it; she had kept it fresh as can be, like a birdsong in an old nest.
    Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
