Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “His life was a sort of dream, as are most lives with the mainspring left out.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “Wisdom is not just knowing fundamental truths, if these are unconnected with the guidance of life or with a perspective on its meaning. If the deep truths physicists describe about the origin and functioning of the universe have little practical import and do not change our picture of the meaning of the universe and our place within it, then knowing them would not count as wisdom.”
    —Robert Nozick (b. 1938)
