Famous quotes containing the word life:
“What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.”
—Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)
“The ancients adorned their sarcophagi with the emblems of life and procreation, and even with obscene symbols; in the religions of antiquity the sacred and the obscene often lay very close together. These men knew how to pay homage to death. For death is worthy of homage as the cradle of life, as the womb of palingenesis.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
