Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “I have lifted the veil. I have created life, wrested the secret of life from life. Now do you understand? From the lives of those who have gone before, I have created life.”
    —Edward T. Lowe, and Frank Strayer. Dr. von Niemann (Lionel Atwill)

    “Because of the unusual remoteness of Russia, and because of nostalgia’s remaining throughout one’s life an insane companion, with whose heartrending oddities one is accustomed to put up in public, I feel no embarrassment in confessing to the sentimental stab of attachment to my first book.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
