Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Not less are summer-mornings dear
    To every child they wake,
    And each with novel life his sphere
    Fills for his proper sake.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There is something else which has the power to awaken us to the truth. It is the works of writers of genius.... They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
