Return Alive

Famous quotes containing the words return and/or alive:

    If he should take back his spirit to himself, and gather to himself his breath, all flesh would perish together, and all mortals return to dust.
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 34:14-15.

    For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. Whatever the unborn may know, they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards. But the magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
