Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “The life of the wealthy is one long Sunday.”
    —Georg Büchner (1813–1837)

    “Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle, curved tunnels of leaf miners on the face of a leaf. We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it, and describe what’s going on here. Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness, or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise.”
    —Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
