Breathing Quotes (page 14)

The house was left; the house was deserted. It was left like a shell on a sandhill to fill with dry salt grains now that life had left it. The long life seemed to have set in; the trifling airs, nibbling, the clammy breaths, fumbling, seemed to have triumphed. .. Virginia Woolf
There Albine lay, panting, exhausted by love, her hands clutched closer and closer to her heart, breathing her last. She parted her lips, seeking the kiss which should obliterate her, and then the hyacinths and tuberoses exhaled their incense, wrapping her in a final sigh, so profound that it drowned the chorus of roses, and in this culminating gasp of blossom, Albine was dead. Emile Zola
If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand: My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne; And all this day an unaccustom'd spirit Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts. I dreamt my lady came and found me dead— Strange dream, that gives a dead man leave to think!— And breathed such life with kisses in my lips, That I revived, and was an emperor. Ah me! how sweet is love itself possess'd, When but love's shadows are so rich in joy! William Shakespeare
John Locke quote: "I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and let it out..."
I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and let it out completely, along with my soul. John Locke
When we reached home your cheeks were like roses, and your eyes were shining like stars, and you tried to tell Mummy so much in one breath that I thought you would burst. Katherine Mansfield
Dan Millman quote: "Here and now...breathe and relax...in battle and in life"
Here and now...breathe and relax...in battle and in life Dan Millman
When we revolt it’s not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for a variety of reasons, we can no longer breathe Frantz Fanon
Are there not some places where we seem to breathe sadness? — why, we cannot tell. It is a chain of recollections — an idea which carries you back to other times, to other places — which, very likely, have no connection with the present time and place. Alexander Dumas
Jodi Picoult quote: "Your problem is that you have been too honest for too long. ..."
Your problem is that you have been too honest for too long. Once you start doing it, lying is simpler than breathing. Jodi Picoult
Murderess, murderess, he whispers to himself. It has an allure, a scent almost. Hothouse gardenias. Lurid, but also furtive. He imagines himself breathing it as he draws Grace towards him, pressing his mouth against her. Murderess. He applies it to her throat like a brand. Margaret Atwood
Jim Harrison quote: "My heart must open to the cosmos with no langauage unless we..."
My heart must open to the cosmos with no langauage unless we invent it moment by moment in order to breathe. Jim Harrison
Khalil Gibran quote: "And since you are a breath in God’s sphere, and a leaf in..."
And since you are a breath in God’s sphere, and a leaf in God’s forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion. Khalil Gibran
I went over to see Marina two or three or four times a week. I knew as long as I could see the girl I would be all right…. Soon after, I got a letter from Fay. She and the child were living in a hippie commune in New Mexico. It was a nice place, she said. Marina would be able to breathe there. She enclosed a little drawing the girl had made for me. Charles Bukowski
If you want a thing--truly want it, want it so badly that you need it as you need air to breathe, then unless you die, you will have it. Why not? It has you. There is no escape. What a cruel and terrible thing escape would be if escape were possible Octavia Butler
Life goes on. It doesn't go on. Yes, yes, I know, all we want in the end, we living, breathing creatures (am I still one of them?) is life. All we want to believe in is the persistence and vitality of life. Faced with the choice between death and the merest hint of life, what scrap, what token wouldn't we cling to in order to keep that belief? A leaf? A single moist, green leaf? That will do, that will be enough. Graham Swift
