Breath Quotations
Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?
Mahatma Gandhi
The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath.
W. C. Fields
Truly to sing, that is a different breath.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.
George Eliot
You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.
Chuck Palahniuk
All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.
Morihei Ueshiba
All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.
Dante Alighieri
It's strange that words are so inadequate. Yet, like the asthmatic struggling for breath, so the lover must struggle for words.
T. S. Eliot
I never like being touched, ever. People used to say I held my breath when they were hugging me. I still do.
Angelina Jolie
