Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “It is no longer possible for lyric poetry to express the immensity of our experience. Life has grown too cumbersome, too complicated. We have acquired values which are best expressed in prose.”
    —Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
