Human Existence

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or existence:

“Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“The modernness of all good books seems to give men an existence as wide as man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
