Air Breathing Fish

Famous quotes containing the words air, breathing and/or fish:

    Speak the speech ... trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it ... I had as lief the town crier had spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I told you, sir, they were red-hot with drinking;
    So full of valour that they smote the air,
    For breathing in their faces, beat the ground
    For kissing of their feet.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
