Usable Breathing Time

Famous quotes containing the words usable, breathing and/or time:

“It is written in the Book of Usable Minutes
That all things have their center in their dying....”

“I told you, sir, they were red-hot with drinking;
So full of valour that they smote the air,
For breathing in their faces, beat the ground
For kissing of their feet.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Today we all speak, if not the same tongue, the same universal language. There is no one center, and time has lost its former coherence: East and West, yesterday and tomorrow exist as a confused jumble in each one of us. Different times and different spaces are combined in a here and now that is everywhere at once.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
