Famous quotes containing the words air and/or division:
“For in the air all lovers meet
After they’ve hated out their love....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don’t know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
