Famous quotes containing the words air and/or volume:
“It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed

That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunder’s rattapallax....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces.”
