Breathe

Famous quotes containing the word breathe:

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. I would rather ride on earth in an ox cart, with a free circulation, than go to heaven in the fancy car of an excursion train and breathe a malaria all the way.”

“With their souls of patent leather,
they come down the road.
Hunched and nocturnal,
Where they breathe they impose,
silence of dark rubber,
and fear of fine sand.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

“We breathe an ill wind,
nevertheless our kind
in mushroom multitudes
jostles for elbow-room
moonwards ...”
