Air Volume

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or volume:

    Soun is noght but air ybroken,
    And every speche that is spoken,
    Loud or privee, foul or fair,
    In his substaunce is but air;
    For as flaumbe is but lighted smoke,
    Right so soun is air ybroke.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)

    We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.
