Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    In every woman’s life there is one real and consuming love. But very few women guess which one it is.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    I think it beats the heck out of life after death, that’s for sure.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
