Life Thread

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or thread:

“We cannot discuss the state of our minorities until we first have some sense of what we are, who we are, what our goals are, and what we take life to be.

—James Baldwin (1924–1987)

“One sought not absolute truth. One sought only a spool on which to wind the thread of history without breaking it.”
