Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Sometimes I think of life as a process where everybody is discouraging and taking everybody else down a peg or two.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    Everybody’s a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We’re all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos.
    David Cronenberg (b. 1943)

    The animal is one with its life activity. It does not distinguish the activity from itself. It is its activity. But man makes his life activity itself an object of his will and consciousness. He has a conscious life activity. It is not a determination with which he is completely identified.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
