Famous quotes containing the words air and/or rank:
“Our air up here is good for the disease—I mean good against the disease,... but it is also good for the disease.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
