Breathed Quotes (page 7)

Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children. Albert Camus
I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I've never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you're not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing. Elizabeth Berkley
How long your closet held a whiff of you, Long after hangers hung austere and bare. I would walk in and suddenly the true. Sharp sweet sweat scent controlled the air. And life was in that small still living breath. Where are you? since so much of you is here, Your unique odour quite ignoring death. My hands reach out to touch, to hold what's dear. And vital in my longing empty arms. But other clothes fill up the space, your space, And scent on scent send out strange false alarms. Not of your... Madeleine L'Engle
Warmblood now a bloodborne death, Will rob your body of it's breath. Mark your skin and seal your fate The Underland becomes a plate Suzanne Collins
Marcus Aurelius quote: "When you arise in the moring, think of what a precious..."
When you arise in the moring, think of what a precious privelege it is to be alive-- to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love Marcus Aurelius
Reading a book, for me at least, is like traveling in someone else's world. If it's a good book, then you feel comfortable and yet anxious to see what's going to happen to you there, what'll be around the next corner. But if it's a lousy book, then it's like going through Secaucus, New Jersey -- it smells and you wish you weren't there, but since you've started the trip, you roll up the windows and breathe through your mouth until you're done. Jonathan Carroll
she had never known who she was at all, except sometimes for a moment in meditation, when her I am became It is, and she breathed the stars Ursula K. Le Guin
James Baldwin quote: "His touch could never fail to make me feel desire; yet his..."
His touch could never fail to make me feel desire; yet his hot, sweet breath also made me want to vomit. James Baldwin
I paused, partly for breath, and partly because I felt I had said enough. I stood there, waiting for her reply, wishing I had a throat lozenge to suck. P. G. Wodehouse
Arundhati Roy quote: "Smells, like music, hold memories. She breathed deep, and..."
Smells, like music, hold memories. She breathed deep, and bottled it up for posterity. Arundhati Roy
The connection was good. I could hear her breathing in the spaces between our words. How do you talk to the real person whose ghost has haunted you? How do you tell the difference between the two? Sherman Alexie
John McCrae quote: "Like restless birds, the breath of coming rain. Creeps,..."
Like restless birds, the breath of coming rain. Creeps, lilac-laden, up the village street John McCrae
That was Thorin's style. He was an important dwarf. If he had been allowed, he would probably have gone on like this until he was out of breath, without telling anyone there anything that was not known already. But he was rudely interrupted. J. R. R. Tolkien
Has the dark shadow really disappeared? Or is it inside me, concealed, waiting for its chance to reappear? Like a clever thief hidden inside a house, breathing quietly, waiting until everyone’s asleep. I have looked deep inside myself, trying to detect something that might be there. But just as our consciousness is a maze, so too is our body. Everywhere you turn there’s darkness, and a blind spot. Everywhere you find silent hints, everywhere a surprise is waiting for you. Haruki Murakami
O you gods, what a number of men eat Timon, and he sees 'em not! It grieves me to see so many dip their meat in one man's blood; and all the madness is, he cheers them up too. I wonder men dare trust themselves with men: Methinks they should invite them without knives; Good for their meat, and safer for their lives. There's much example for't; the fellow that sits next him now, parts bread with him, pledges the breath of him in a divided draught, is the readiest man to kill him: 't has been... William Shakespeare
