Air Detachment

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or detachment:

    “Then, that no region of the universe
    Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
    Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,
    The seas became the abode of glittering fish.
    Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
    A holier animal was wanting.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.”
