Breathe Air

Famous quotes containing the words breathe and/or air:

    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)

    What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.
    Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
