How to use life in a sentence?
Apparently nobody gives a damn about this loss of life.
Braddock Mayor John Fetterman:
You're 23 years old, and you're thinking life goes on forever and you don't have to confront your own mortality and suddenly you can drive to the gym one morning and not even know that you had 15 minutes left to live.
Perhaps, on the whole, embarrassment and perplexity are a kind of natural accompaniment to life and movement; and it is better to be driven out of your senses with thinking which of two things you ought to do than to do nothing whatever, and be utterly uninteresting to all the world.
I hate life, I hate death and everything in between just doesn't interest me.
Life can't ever really defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death--fascinating, cruel, lavish, warm, cold, treacherous constant.
