A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at any moment taking place in it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The mark of a living thing is to be involved in opposites (impossibilities): the living cell that has to be continually adapting itself to stay alive, with its identity.
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
The word 'living' has so many connotations that I'm almost reluctant to try to define it scientifically because it sounds as if I'm then downgrading all the other significances of that word.
Death may simply be an alteration in consciousness, a transition for continued life in a nonmaterial form.
If a thing moves, it lives.
Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little.
Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature. Everything is organic and living, and therefore the whole world appears to be a living organism.
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
Life is simply the reification of the process of living.
Everything is dead while it lives.
