Breathe

Famous quotes containing the word breathe:

    “The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “I have seen a medicine
    That’s able to breathe life into a stone.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Manners are of more importance than laws.... Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
