Examples of lives in a Sentence

1. RAS CARDO REGGAE:

   I will challenge anyone today and say this:- if bob marley and peter tosh were alive today, those who try to sell them, their images, and works would never get away with it! I must also add- if their sons and daughters allows this to happen to their fathers, being raped in their graves, then the consequences are theirs to bear. I knew their fathers before they were born.

2. Benjamin Franklin:

   I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands, or commanding wives.

3. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott:

   If it causes offense that I say that 'all lives matter' -- black lives, white lives, police officers, jurists, all of us, even politicians, all of our lives matter -- if that is somehow offensive to someone, that's their issue, not mine.

4. Sheriff Ron Hickman:

   When the rhetoric ramps up to the point where calculated, cold-blooded assassination of police officers happen, this rhetoric has gotten out of control, we've heard 'Black lives matter,' 'All lives matter.' Well, cops' lives matter, too. So why don't we just drop the qualifier, and just say 'Lives matter,' and take that to the bank.

5. Judith Butler:

   When some people rejoin with 'All Lives Matter' they misunderstand the problem, but not because their message is untrue. It is true that all lives matter, but it is equally true that not all lives are understood to matter, which is precisely why it is most important to name the lives that have not mattered, and are struggling to matter in the way they deserve, if we jump too quickly to the universal formulation, 'all lives matter,' then we miss the fact that black people have not yet been included in the idea of 'all lives.'.
