Mortal Existence

Famous quotes containing the words mortal and/or existence:

    ‘All that is mortal of great Plato there
    Expiates the joy and woe his master knew not;
    The star that ruled his doom was far too fair.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    The existence of good bad literature—the fact that one can be amused or excited or even moved by a book that one’s intellect simply refuses to take seriously—is a reminder that art is not the same thing as cerebration.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
