Human Existence

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or existence:

“Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts.... It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that—being what it is—it falls so short of in fact and in deed.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)

“A novel that does not uncover a hitherto unknown segment of existence is immoral. Knowledge is the novel’s only morality.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
