Breathing Quotes (page 27)

Alexander Pope quote: "Happy the man, whose wish and care. A few paternal acres..."
Happy the man, whose wish and care. A few paternal acres bound, Content to breathe his native air. In his own ground. Alexander Pope
To whom I owe the leaping delight. That quickens my senses in our wakingtime. And the rhythm that governs the repose of our sleepingtime, the breathing in unison. Of lovers whose bodies smell of each other. Who think the same thoughts without need of speech, And babble the same speech without need of meaning... No peevish winter wind shall chill. No sullen tropic sun shall wither. The roses in the rose-garden which is ours and ours only. But this dedication is for others to read: These are... T. S. Eliot
There is a fine old saying, which everybody here is of course familiar with: 'Keep your breath to cool your porridge'; and I shall keep mine to swell my song. Jane Austen
Deepak Chopra quote: "Once war becomes a clash of absolutes, there is no breathing..."
Once war becomes a clash of absolutes, there is no breathing room for mercy. Absolute truth is blind truth. Deepak Chopra
We breathe, sleep, drink, eat, work and then die! The end of life is death. What do you long for? Love? A few kisses and you will be powerless. Money? What for? To gratify your desires. Glory? What coems after it all? Death! Death alone is certain. Guy de Maupassant
Call to mind a person you've lost that you will miss to the end of your days, and then imagine happening upon that person out in public. . . . You wouldn't question your sanity, because you couldn't bear to think this wasn't real. And you certainly wouldn't demand explanations, or alert anybody nearby, or reach out to touch this person, not even if you'd been feeling that one touch was worth giving everything up for. You would hold your breath. You would keep as still as possible. You... Anne Tyler
Kate Mosse quote: "And in the air around her, the echo of all those stifled..."
And in the air around her, the echo of all those stifled hearts, trapped spirits, fluttered and sighed and breathed. Kate Mosse
On a warm spring day, a galloping horse was only too clearly a sweating animal of flesh and blood. But a horse racing through a snowstorm became one with the very elements; wrapped in the whirling blast of the north wind, the beast embodied the icy breath of winter. Yukio Mishima
But “nowhere” does not mean nothing; rather, region in general lies therein, and disclosedness of the world in general for essentially spatial being-in. Therefore, what is threatening cannot come closer from a definite direction within nearness, it is already “there” - and yet nowhere. It is so near that it is oppressive and takes one’s breath - and yet it is nowhere. Martin Heidegger
O little one, My little one, Come with me, Your life is done. Forget the future, Forget the past. Life is over: Breathe your last. Clive Barker
He was up to his neck in it. He was breathing the air of its world, adapting to its gravity. The story's essence had permeated every part of him, to the walls of his viscera. Haruki Murakami
He feels, as he sometimes does, as most people must, a presence in the room, what he can only think of as his and Rebecca's living ghosts, the amalgamation of their dreams and their breathing, their smells. He does not believe in ghosts, but he believes in...something. Something viable, something living, that's surprised when he wakes at this hour, that's neither glad nor sorry to see him awake but that recognizes the fact, because it has been interrupted in its nocturnal inchoate musings. Michael Cunningham
No man or woman alive, magical or not, has ever escaped some form of injury, whether physical, mental, or emotional. To hurt is as human as to breathe. J. K. Rowling
Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe. Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything. Suddenly I know exactly what I did but I can not move a thing, and suddenly I know exactly what I've done and what it's gonna mean to me.... I'M GONE!!! John Mayer
The mind that becomes soiled in youth can never again be washed clean. I know this by my own experience, & to this day I cherish an unappeased bitterness against the unfaithful guardians of my young life, who not only permitted but compelled me to read an unexpurgated Bible through before I was 15 years old. None can do that and ever draw a clean sweet breath again on this side of the grave. Mark Twain
