Air Quotes (page 8)

Michael Ondaatje quote: "He came to this country like a torch on fire and he swallowed..."
He came to this country like a torch on fire and he swallowed air as he walked forward and he gave out light Michael Ondaatje
I'd loved in so many bodies, but never one I loved like this. Never one that I craved in this way. Of course, this would be the one I'd have to give up. The irony made me laugh, and I concentrated on the feel of the air that popped in little bubbles from my chest and up through my throat. Laughter was like a fresh breeze - it cleaned its way through the body, making everything feel good. Did other species have such a simple healer? I couldn't remember one. Stephenie Meyer
She did not really like her. She would not be in a hurry to find fault, but she suspected that there was no elegance, ease, but not elegance... Her person was rather good; her face not unpretty; but neither feature nor air, nor voice, nor manner were elegant. Jane Austen
Why, Jon, why?" his mother asked. "Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, Jon? Why can't you leave low flying to the pelicans, the alhatross? Why don't you eat? Son, you're bone and feathers!" "I don't mind being bone and feathers mom. I just want to know what I can do in the air and what I can't, that's all. I just want to know. Richard Bach
She loved the sea. She liked the sharp salty smell of the air and the vastness of horizons bound only by a vault of azure sky above. It made her feel small, but free as well." - Dany George R. R. Martin
As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm. Laura Ingalls Wilder

I sank back in the gray, plush seat and closed my eyes. The air of the bell jar wadded round me and I couldn't stir. Sylvia Plath
Stephenie Meyer quote: "I wanted him like I wanted air to breathe. Not a choice- a..."
I wanted him like I wanted air to breathe. Not a choice- a necessity. Stephenie Meyer
Sex is a different medium, refracting time and sense, a biological hyperspace as remote from conscious existence as dreams, or as water is from air Ian Mcewan
Louis L'Amour quote: "Knowledge was not meant to be locked behind doors. It breathes..."
Knowledge was not meant to be locked behind doors. It breathes best in the open air where all men can inhale its essence. Louis L'Amour
The path trodden by wayfarers and pilgrims followed the railway and then turned into the fields. Here Lara stopped, closed her eyes and took a good breath of the air which carried all the smells of the huge countryside. It was dearer to her than her kin, better than a lover, wiser than a book. For a moment she rediscovered the meaning of her life. She was here on earth to make sense of its wild enchantment and to call each thing by its right name, or, if this were not within her power, then,... Boris Pasternak
Outside the trees dragged their leaves like nets through the depths of the air; the sound of water was in the room and through the waves came the voices of birds singing. Virginia Woolf
Ray Bradbury quote: "The Internet is a big distraction. It's distracting, it's..."
The Internet is a big distraction. It's distracting, it's meaningless; it's not real. It's in the air somewhere. Ray Bradbury
A world like that is not really natural, or (the thought strikes one later) perhaps it really is, only more so. Parts of it are neither land nor sea and so everything is moving from one element to another, wearing uneasily the queer transitional bodies that life adopts in such places. Fish, some of them, come out and breathe air and sit about watching you. Plants take to eating insects, mammals go back to the water and grow elongate like fish, crabs climb trees. Nothing stays put where it... Loren Eiseley
Because no windows were open and the air was so still and cold that the trees dared not move for fear of encountering more of it than they had to, Christiana thought that she had entered a city of the dead. Mark Helprin
