Famous quotes containing the words air and/or quality:
“Up from the South at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.”
—Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)
“But the quality of the imagination is to flow, and not to freeze.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
