Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Why should men love the Church? Why should they love her laws?
    She tells them of Life and Death, and of all that they would forget.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Modern equalitarian societies ... whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier.... Happiness thus becomes the chief political issue—in a sense, the only political issue—and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.”
    —Robert Warshow (1917–1955)
