Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Look, there’s nothing wrong with people being happy, but there’s more to life than turning on and screwing to Ravel’s Bolero.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    The more highly public life is organized the lower does its morality sink.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Through the certain prospect of death, a precious, sweet- smelling drop of levity might be mixed into every life—but now you strange pharmacist-souls have turned it into a foul-tasting drop of poison through which all life is made repulsive.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
