Entering Air

Famous quotes containing the words entering and/or air:

    “... Farewell then,
    Until, under a better sky
    We may meet expended, for just doing it
    Is only an excuse. We need the tether
    Of entering each other’s lives, eyes wide apart, crying.”
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.”
    Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
