“I want to know you moved and breathed in the same world with me.”

“I kissed his cheek, damp and salty. I could feel his heart beating against my ribs, and wanted nothing more than to stay there forever, not moving, not making love, just breathing the same air.”

Diana Gabaldon book Outlander

“When we feel overwhelmed by all the suffering in the world, or just drained by the stress of the day, do this. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and know that the very breath you are taking is the same miracle of life that pervades all creation. He who gives you this breath, despite your anxieties, fears and pain, knows you. He knows you better than you will ever understand yourself. Breathe in, breathe out. You are experiencing the miracle. The most amazing miracle of all. The gift of life. All things will find harmony in this knowing, in this, is the whisper of not only all creation, but of the Creator.”

Michael Elmore-Meegan (1959) British humanitarian

“Sometimes I breathe you in and I know you know.”

Tori Amos (1963) American singer

“I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove she was moving too,
And every single breath that we drew was
Hallelujah.”

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter

“Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things: comfort, love, and a peaceful heart.”

Mitch Albom (1958) American author

“I don't want you to become sad, I still live somewhere else, where you can't see me and can't hear me, but I will see you and know how you are. And I will wait for you until you come to me. Everybody has his time and will move sometime.”

Ziad Jarrah (1975–2001) September 11th hijacker

“I terribly want to breathe you.”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

“I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard.
I just want someone
that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.”

Billy Joel (1949) American singer-songwriter and pianist

“I wanted you to know me.”
