Breathing Tube

Famous quotes containing the words breathing and/or tube:

“What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

“Even crushed against his brother in the Tube the average Englishman pretends desperately that he is alone.”
