Famous quotes containing the words air and/or travel:
“The air was clear. He seemed in ultimate peace
Except that he had no eyes. Rigid and bright
Upon the forehead, furred
With a light frost, crouched an outrageous bird.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
“An English man does not travel to see English men.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
