Famous quotes containing the word air:

    “His hope is treacherous only whose love dies
    With beauty, which is varying every hour;
    But, in chaste hearts uninfluenced by the power
    Of outward change, there blooms a deathless flower,
    That breathes on earth the air of paradise.”
    —Michelangelo Buonarroti (1474–1564)
