Famous quotes containing the words mortal and/or existence:
“I could bear to suffer ... so many have suffered. But why must it be like this? I have not deserved it. I have been true in friendship; I have faithfully nursed others in sickness.... Why must I die like this, alone with my mortal enemy?”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“A novel that does not uncover a hitherto unknown segment of existence is immoral. Knowledge is the novel’s only morality.”
