“Solitude matters, and for some people it is the air that they breathe.”

“I do not believe that there was ever a question of being abstract or representational. It is really a matter of ending this silence and solitude, of breathing, and stretching one's arms again transcendental experiences became possible.”

“The delicious breath of rain was in the air.”

“Ah, good conversation - there's nothing like it, is there? The air of ideas is the only air worth breathing.”

“God, to breathe. Air. You don’t know what it means until you cannot take a breath”

“In a world without air all you breathe is adventure!”

“Freedom under law is like the air we breathe.”

“Just as our soul, being air, constrains us, so breath and air envelops the whole kosmos.”

“What Lily craved was the darkness made by enfolding arms, the silence which is not solitude, but compassion holding its breath.”

“And 't is my faith, that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.”
