Famous quotes containing the words air and/or instrument:

    “The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath—the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he is numb to the stench.”
    —Attributed to Seattle (c. 1784–1866)

    “The law is not a “light” for you or any man to see by; the law is not an instrument of any kind. The law is a causeway upon which so long as he keeps to it a citizen may walk safely.”
    —Robert Bolt (1924–1995)
