Famous quotes containing the words breathing and/or apparatus:

    “Ere I could
    Give him that parting kiss which I had set
    Betwixt two charming words, comes in my father,
    And like the tyrannous breathing of the north
    Shakes all our buds from growing.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
