Famous quotes containing the words finnish and/or air:
“A conversation in English in Finnish and in French can not be held at the same time nor with indifference ever or after a time.”

“[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
