Famous quotes containing the words air and/or power:
“Converse with a mind that is grandly simple, and literature looks like word-catching. The simplest utterances are worthiest to be written, yet are they so cheap, and so things of course, that, in the infinite riches of the soul, it is like gathering a few pebbles off the ground, or bottling a little air in a phial, when the whole earth and the whole atmosphere are ours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The power men possess to annoy me I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
