Famous quotes containing the words air and/or defence:

    “There is something about poverty that smells like death. Dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season and rotting around the feet; impulses smothered too long in the fetid air of underground caves. The soul lives in a sickly air. People can be slave-ships in shoes.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy.”
    —E.V. (Edward Verrall)
