Supported Air

Famous quotes containing the words supported and/or air:

    A metaphysician is one who, when you remark that twice two makes four, demands to know what you mean by twice, what by two, what by makes, and what by four. For asking such questions metaphysicians are supported in oriental luxury in the universities, and respected as educated and intelligent men.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “With your air indifferent and imperious
    At a stroke our mad poetics to confute—”
    And—”Are we then so serious?”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
