It's beautiful to have a smoking jacket, a good cigar and a wife who plays the piano. So relaxing. So lenitive. Between the acts you go out for a smoke and a breath of fresh air. - Henry Miller This man, he is the air I breathe. I can define it I think. It's like my lungs hold their breath each time were apart and deflate when I first see him again. I believe the term is even a breath of fresh air. I can't breathe without him.-Tainted Book 2 Fey Court Trilogy - Cyndi Goodgame I'm going outside to get a breath of fresh air. Anybody got a cigarette I can have? - Jarod Kintz Knowledge is great. Competence is great. But the combination of both encourages people to trust you and increases your powers of enchantment. And in this world, the combination is a breath of fresh air. - Guy Kawasaki Holyfield is nothing but class, and I think he's a breath of fresh air for the sport. - Sugar Ray Leonard People like her because she's like a breath of fresh air. Because i...

The evening light was like honey in the trees When you left me and walked to the end of the street Where the sunset abruptly ended. The wedding-cake drawbridge lowered itself To the fragile forget-me-not flower. You climbed aboard. Burnt horizons suddenly paved with golden stones, Dreams I had, including suicide, Puff out the hot-air balloon now. It is bursting, it is about to burst - John Ashbery I like that hot air balloon.' I pointed to the ceiling where an antique looking wooden hot air balloon hung. 'Yeah, I like it too. Partly because it's cool looking, but also partly because of the irony. It weighs a ton. In this office, anything can fly. No matter what is weighing it down. Even wooden balloons. Cool, huh? - Jennifer Brown After us they'll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they'll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will st...

It's way too long and I gave up on it. Abandoning forever an innocent child to a hostile and unforgiving land. Sometimes I still hear him crying late at night. He sounds exactly like a malfunctioning air conditioner. - Yahtzee Croshaw In Mexico an air conditioner is called a politician because it makes a lot of noise but doesn't work very well. - Len Deighton Despair busies one, and my weekend was spoken for. I was going to lie down on the floor of my apartment in the draft of the air conditioner and spend two days and nights traveling a circuit of regret, self-pity, and jealousy. - Joseph O Neill

God has been replaced, as he has all over the West, with respectability and air conditioning. - Amiri Baraka We have a group of friends of the museum who try to raise, if they can, periodically something to help us. Of course, the main thing about a building like this is its upkeep. It needs central heating and it needs central air conditioning. - Katherine Dunham It was luxuries like air conditioning that brought down the Roman Empire. With air conditioning their windows were shut, they couldn't hear the barbarians coming. - Garrison Keillor Please, come in. Let me open the air conditioning vent so you can squeeze through. - Jarod Kintz When air conditioning, escalators, and advertising appeared, shopping expanded its scale, but also limited its spontaneity. And it became much more predictable, almost scientific. What had once been the most surprising became the most manipulated. - Rem Koolhaas When people really hate one another, the tension within them can sometimes make i...

There is a bright spot or two for the Spaniards. French toast has become freedom toast on the Air Force One breakfast menu, but the Spanish omelet is still a Spanish omelet. - Suzanne Fields Bill Clinton sitting on Air Force One getting his hair cut while people around the country cooled their heels and waited for him, became a metaphor for a populist president who had gotten drunk with the perks of his own power and was sort of, you know, not sensitive to what people wanted. - Dee Dee Myers I have to say that flying on Air Force One sort of spoils you for coach on a regular airline. - Ron Reagan We're about to shoot an episode on Air Force One, for instance, and we're going to take liberties, small liberties, with Air Force One, as we take small liberties with our White House set. - Aaron Sorkin

My husband was an Air Force pilot man years ago and recently an Air Force wife thanked me for my service! I laughed and said, 'No, I wasn't in the Air Force, my husband was!' And she smiled and said, 'If he served, you served. And thank you.' - Robyn Carr My husband is a former Air Force pilot and my son is an active duty Army surgeon, recently returned from Iraq, so my pride in our military is passionate... and personal. - Robyn Carr

At an early age, I quit high school at 17 and joined the Air Force. - Sandy Adams Three Royal Air Force aeroplanes have come over to us so far with their arms and equipment. - John Amery If you want something that's going to provide you with a lot of challenges and a variety of different things to do, then you really can't beat a place like the Air Force. I don't mean this to sound like a recruiting pitch. But it's been a lot of fun. - Michael P Anderson I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you're going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force. - Michael P Anderson My mom and dad met at UCLA when he as a captain in the Air Force and she was in her junior year. - Tracy Austin During a trip to Iraq last fall, I visited our theater hospital at Balad Air Force Base and witnessed these skilled medical professionals in action and met t...

Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources. - Ronald Reagan It has come to my attention, that air pollution is polluting the air! - George W Bush I strongly support the Bush Administration's clean diesel rules, which will reduce air pollution from diesel engines by more than 90 percent, and reduce the sulfur content of diesel fuel by more than 95 percent. - Steve Buyer Ethanol has reduced our nation's dependence on imported energy, created thousands of jobs, reduced air pollution, and increased energy security. And renewable fuels cost less at the pump. It is a growth fuel that fuels opportunities for millions of Americans. - Lane Evans Nowadays a lot of what was wrong with me would no doubt be ascribed to Attention Deficit Disorder, tartrazine food colouring, dairy produce and air pollution. A few hundred years earlier it would ...

My high school guidance counselor, Mrs. Inverholl, once had me take an aptitude test to figure out my future. The number one job recommendation for my set of skills was an air traffic accident investigator, of which there are fewer than fifty in the world. The number two job was a museum curator for Chinese-American studies. The number three job was a circus clown. - Jodi Picoult Air traffic control is going to have a steamy old fit on your dime, boy. They can get in line behind the police, the people whose cars we trashed, the Empire of Ob'enn, the Partnership Collective, and the Wormgate Corporation. Oh, and I think maybe some dark matter beasties from Andromeda. You "think maybe"? -General Tagon & Captain Andreyasn - Howard Tayler

The dedication of the United States Air Force, Special Forces, and others involved in the mission to tracking down terrorists can not be matched. We express our gratitude to these men and women who defend the freedom America represents. - Tim Murphy But it wasn't until I graduated from Texas A & M University and joined the United States Air Force, flying C-130's all around the globe, that I truly appreciated the blessings of freedom. - Rick Perry

Nykyrian gave him a feral grimace. But when he spoke, his soft, lilting tone belied his fierce expression. Syn... what can I say? I love you, man. I can't live without you. You are the air I breathe. - Sherrilyn Kenyon Books are the air I breathe, so I don't notice the seasons. - Emma Donoghue Hatred is the air I breathe. It permeates every cell in my body. - Jim Goad This man, he is the air I breathe. I can define it I think. It's like my lungs hold their breath each time were apart and deflate when I first see him again. I believe the term is even a breath of fresh air. I can't breathe without him.-Tainted Book 2 Fey Court Trilogy - Cyndi Goodgame You are everything to me, my sun, my moon, the air I breathe. Nothing exists except you. I love you. - Rachel Higginson I love you, Dominique. As selfishly as the fact that I exist. As selfishly as my lungs breathe air. I breathe for my own necessity, for the fuel of my body, for my survival. I've given you, not m...

I am deeply devoted to the 27,000 songs I can take anywhere on my iPod Classic as well as the exquisitely engineered MacBook Air on which I typed this column. - Eric Alterman There's no other company that could make a MacBook Air and the reason is that not only do we control the hardware, but we control the operating system. And it is the intimate interaction between the operating system and the hardware that allows us to do that. There is no intimate interaction between Windows and a Dell notebook. - Steve Jobs

I learned a lot that night. For example, that part of being the magician's assistant means coming face-to-face with illusion. That invisibility is really just knotting your body in a certain way and letting the black curtain fall over you. That people don't vanish into thin air; that when you can't find someone, it's because you've been misdirected to look elsewhere. - Jodi Picoult Two hours. More than enough time to kidnap a man. Or to slice his throat, bury him in the forest, and steal his magic project. How the hell did de Harven fit into it? Did he surprise the thieves? Of course, Adam Kamen could've killed his uber-bodyguard and bolted with the goods. Because he was secretly a ninja, adept at mortal combat and vanishing into thin air. Yes, that was it. Case solved. - Ilona Andrews And of course I'm in the press all the time. So many books have been written about me; Into thin air, up in the air,Gone with the wind- - Rick Riordan You may not believe ...

Bilbo lay with his eyes shut, gasping an taking pleasure in the feel of the fresh air again, and hardly noticing the excitement of the dwarves, or how they praised him and patted him on the back and put themseves and all their families for generations to come at his service. - J R R Tolkien He had the effect on her of a window being thrown open and fresh air and sunlight being let in - Elizabeth Von Arnim Fresh air is good if you do not take too much of it; most of the achievements and pleasures of life are in bad air. - Oliver Wendell Holmes Because forgiveness is like this: a room can be dank because you have closed the windows, you've closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart. - Desmond Tutu I don't want to be pigeonholed into doing just romantic comedies. But they're fun, and especially for women, it's nice to go to see the...

What you and I might rate as an absolute disaster, God may rate as a pimple-level problem that will pass. He views your life the way you view a movie after you've read the book. When something bad happens, you feel the air sucked out of the theater. Everyone else gasps at the crisis on the screen. Not you. Why? You've read the book. You know how the good guy gets out of the tight spot. God views your life with the same confidence. He's not only read your story...he wrote it. - Max Lucado We looked at each other for a minute, not saying anything, but I could feel the air between us shift. It became thick, sultry, and tangiblelike when the air changes right before a storm. I could feel its power envelop me as it brushed across my skin. Even though I couldn't see it, I knew a storm was coming. - Colleen Houck Each time a breeze starts, I feel the air all the way through me. - Nina Lacour I should feel the air move against me, and feel the things I touched, instead of h...

Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children. - Albert Camus Clean air is a basic right. The responsibility to ensure that falls to Congress and the president. - Thomas Carper Being tall is an advantage, especially in business. People will always remember you. And if you're in a crowd, you'll always have some clean air to breathe. - Julia Child I think Tahoe is one of the hidden gems in the country, and I've played a lot of golf around the country. You can't beat the smells and the clean air and just the way it makes you feel. - Trent Dilfer Why worry about minor little details like clean air, clean water, safe ports and the safety net when Jesus is going to give the world an "Extreme Makeover: Planet Edition" right after he finishes putting Satan in his place once and for all? - Arianna Huffington We...

We have a group of friends of the museum who try to raise, if they can, periodically something to help us. Of course, the main thing about a building like this is its upkeep. It needs central heating and it needs central air conditioning. - Katherine Dunham AZRAEL: No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater... than central air. - Kevin Smith

I don't want to be pigeonholed into doing just romantic comedies. But they're fun, and especially for women, it's nice to go to see them and enjoy that breath of fresh air. - Kristen Bell It's beautiful to have a smoking jacket, a good cigar and a wife who plays the piano. So relaxing. So lenitive. Between the acts you go out for a smoke and a breath of fresh air. - Henry Miller This man, he is the air I breathe. I can define it I think.

Competence is great. But the combination of both encourages people to trust you and increases your powers of enchantment. And in this world, the combination is a breath of fresh ai...

I was lucky enough to first meet Elvis at his house in Bel Air and he used to invite different artists, singers and musicians, to come and jam with him at his house. - Jackie Deshannon Bel Air, I am convinced, was laid out by some diabolic sadist who deliberately decided not to use a compass or a surveyor. - Groucho Marx The only difference between the Bel Air of the '90s and the Bel Air of my childhood is that now the nannies are Latina instead of British, and the cars European instead of American. - Lorna Luft
