Famous quotes containing the words air and/or space:
“Lovely the woods, waters, meadows, combes, vales,
All the air things wear that build this world of Wales.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
—Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)
