Living

Famous quotes containing the word living:

    Milton! thou should’st be living at this hour:
    England hath need of thee:
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    It was so hard to pry this door open, and if I mess up I know the people behind me are going to have it that much harder. Because then there’s living proof. They can sit around and say, “See? It doesn’t work.” I don’t want to be their living proof.
    Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)

    A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at any moment taking place in it.
    Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
