Famous quotes containing the words life and/or work:

    The child who enters life comes not with knowledge or intent,
    So those who enter death must go as little children sent.
    Nothing is known. But I believe that God is overhead;
    And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.
    Mary Mapes Dodge (1831–1905)

    Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.
    Daniel Barenboim (b. 1942)
