Famous quotes containing the words air and/or force:
“By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering
On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
Burning and sweating venomously,
Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
Clamorous with foul ecstasy.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Do not shut up the young people against their will in a pew, and force the children to ask them questions for an hour against their will.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
