Mortal Existence

Famous quotes containing the words mortal and/or existence:

    Can a mortal be of use to God? Can even the wisest be of service to him?
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 22:2.

    In a sense the world dies every time a writer dies, because, if he is any good, he has been a wet nurse to humanity during his entire existence and has held earth close around him, like the little obstetrical toad that goes about with a cluster of eggs attached to his legs.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
