More From Hannah Arendt
- "Death not merely ends life, it also bestows upon it a silent completeness, snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject."
- "By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else. From beauty no road leads to reality."
- "War has become a luxury that only small nations can afford."
More In Age
- "We tend to think of age only in time, but I don’t think it has much to do with time at all; there’s a whole load of other things. I’ve met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young."― Roger Daltrey
- "I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there’s a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys."― Willie Nelson
- "I don’t know of a Democrat – whether they’re a conservative, a centrist or a liberal Democrat – that doesn’t think that it’s important to have quality jobs that pay decent wages so that families can support themselves, so that they can have the dignity of being able to afford health care, put money aside for pension, buy a home."― Tom Vilsack
