Dry Air

Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or air:

    The good die first
    And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust
    Burn to the socket.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    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)
