Air Power

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or power:

    I shall, I suppose, always remember how
    The flock of notes those antique negroes blew
    Out of Chicago air into
    A huge remembering pre-electric horn....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
