Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “San Francisco is where gay fantasies come true, and the problem the city presents is whether, after all, we wanted these particular dreams to be fulfilled—or would we have preferred others? Did we know what price these dreams would exact? Did we anticipate the ways in which, vivid and continuous, they would unsuit us for the business of daily life? Or should our notion of daily life itself be transformed?”
    —Edmund White (b. 1940)

    “Viewed narrowly, all life is universal hunger and an expression of energy associated with it.”
    —Mary Ritter Beard (1876–1958)
