Famous quotes containing the word air:

    “He who wishes to teach us a truth should not tell it to us, but simply suggest it with a brief gesture, a gesture which starts an ideal trajectory in the air along which we glide until we find ourselves at the feet of the new truth.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
