Human Existence

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or existence:

“The art of the cuisine, when fully mastered, is the one human capability of which only good things can be said.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
