Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “All I know is that first, you’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say, ‘I’m a human being, goddamn it, my life has value.’ So I want you to get up now, I want all of you to get up out of your
    chairs. I want you to get up right now, and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.’”
    —Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    “Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child’s world and thus a world event.”
    —Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
