Famous quotes containing the word life:
“In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Life is the desert, life the solitude,
Death joins us to the great majority.”
—Edward Young (1683–1765)
“In this loveless everyday life eroticism is a substitute for love.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
