The whole house seemed to exhale a melancholy breath of emptiness. Michael Chabon
My view is that life is too short. I'm not being melodramatic or anything, but when your mother dies in your arms - just you and her, and it's one o'clock in the morning, and you're waiting for her to exhale - you just think, life's too bloody short to argue about the little things. Saffron Aldridge
Even flowers, to exhale their perfume, must die a little. Antonio Porchia
As a kid, I said, 'I want to write for movies.' When I finally had that opportunity it was like I was able to exhale. 'Wow, I'm finally doing this for real.' Cliff Burton
Gratitude is not a limited resource, nor is it costly. It is abundant as air. We breathe it in but forget to exhale. Marshall Goldsmith

Stéphane Mallarmé
