Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “We realize that we are laggards from the past century, still living in what Marx kindly calls ‘the idiocy of rural life,’ and we know that our rural life is like that of the past, not like that of much of the present.”
    —For the State of Vermont, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “... there is no point in being realistic about here and now, no use at all not any, and so it is not the nineteenth but the twentieth century, there is no realism now, life is not real it is not earnest, it is strange which is an entirely different matter.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
