Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.”
    —Primo Levi (1919–1987)

    “All life long, the same questions, the same answers.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
