Definitions and quotes

Life
Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that do have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Various forms of life exist, such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria. The criteria can at times be ambiguous and may or may not define viruses, viroids, or potential synthetic life as "living". Biology is the science concerned with the study of life.
Science
Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
Life
The wheels of weary life at last stood still.
Dryden and Lee, Œdipus, Act IV, scene 1.
Life
I would live the same life over if I had to live again,
And the chances are I go where most men go.
Adam Lindsay Gordon

Expectation postponed makes the heart sick, but a desire realized is a tree of life.
