Famous quotes containing the words air and/or superiority:
“I moved like a lobster,
slower and slower.
The air was tiny.
The air would not do.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convincd of any principle, tis only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.”
—David Hume (17111776)
