Yes, if you lace your corset up as snugly as is humanly

Things I am allergic to: people who believe in star signs and think nothing of starting a conversation with: ‘Hi, my name’s Lucy.

Aimee Mullins
We are all, in a sense, experts on secrecy. From earlie

We are all, in a sense, experts on secrecy. From earliest childhood we feel its mystery and attraction. We know both the power it confers and the burden it imposes. We learn how it can delight, give breathing space and protect.

Brian Welch
Our thoughts are certainly part of us; they come from us, but we are not our thoughts. Have you ever woken up in the morning and said to yourself, ‘I am not going to think today; I am too tired’? No, of course not. Just as breathing happens and is constant, thoughts happen, and they are also constant.
Elizabeth Thornton
I try to do the deep breathing exercises and I end up panicking in the middle of them and it never goes well.

Michael Giacchino
Dad is and always will be my living, breathing superhero.
Bindi Irwin

George Steinbrenner
I believe that every character is a setting, a world with moving parts, and on the other hand, every setting is, in fact, a character – a living breathing thing with personality and backstory. The way stories come to life, at least for me, is when these elements commune in relationship to one another.
Jason Reynolds
I meditate and I have cut out red meat. For me it is just breathing techniques, learning to be still, to control your thought processes, it calms you down. It wasn’t about dealing with the pressure of games – I’ve always been all right in matches.

Colin R. Davis
I have defeated this earthworm with my words. Imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.

Lee Hyeon-seo
One of the things you will notice about the book of Mark is that if you read through it in one setting, you will be breathing hard at the end. Literally, Mark has set up this book in a way that it is almost like several snapshots of Jesus Christ.
Paul Washer
My sense of religion is Einstein’s sense of relativity. I don’t believe in God. I believe that energy never dies. So the possibility exists that you might be breathing in some other form of Moses or Buddha or Muhammad or Bobby Kennedy or Roosevelt or Martin Luther King or Jesus.

Arundhati Roy
I am a different person in front of the camera; it comes as easy to me as breathing does.

As parents, we’ll go to the ends of the earth for our kids. As soon as they’re born – and during pregnancy – we hope and pray for their good health. As soon as they’re born, we swaddle them, feed them, and breathe a sigh of relief when we see their little bodies breathing and crying as they should.
Ralph Northam
My mother died of metastatic colorectal cancer shortly before three P.M. on Christmas Day of 2008. I don’t know the exact time of her death, because none of us thought to look at a clock for a while after she stopped breathing.
Meghan O’Rourke
Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing. The older I got, the worse it got.
Ashley Tisdale
With dancing, so much is about sexuality and sensuality and without life experience it becomes much more of a performance, rather than a living, breathing entity from the soul.
Nigel Lythgoe
Reviewers have called my books ‘novels in verse.’ I think of them as written in prose, but I do use stanzas. Stanza means ‘room’ in Latin, and I wanted there to be ‘room’ – breathing opportunities to receive thoughts and have time to come out of them before starting again at the left margin.
Virginia Euwer Wolff
The moment you think you’re not funny, the next funny thing you think of is just around the corner. So you have to appreciate the natural breathing patterns, the ups and downs.

The way that you are when you’re allowed to be yourself is very different from when you’re, say, being interviewed by Jeremy Paxman. You’re never given the breathing space.
Ed Miliband
And in fact I don’t believe there is such a thing as a definitive picture of something. The land is a living, breathing thing and light changes its character every second of every day. That’s why I love it so much.
Fay Godwin
In America there is institutional racism that we all inherit and participate in, like breathing the air in this room – and we have to become sensitive to it.
Henry Louis Gates
The highs were high, the awe, I’m not a religious person, but I’ll tell you, to be in the azure blue of the Gulf Stream as if, as you’re breathing, you’re looking down miles and miles and miles, to feel the majesty of this blue planet we live on, it’s awe-inspiring.
Diana Nyad
If you’re throwing punches or exerting energy but you’re not breathing, you’re holding your breath. That actually saps your strength, it saps your stamina.
Chris Eubank Jr.
I always love that phrase, ‘Oh, this is a good idea, but it’s execution dependent.’ As if anything in life is not execution dependent. Breathing is execution-dependent.
Ted Sarandos
To tell you the truth, while I do enjoy the grand-scale elements, it’s the personal scenes, the character moments that I really find satisfying. That’s where I get to delve into the characters’ minds and hearts. That’s where they become living, breathing beings to me.
George Perez
My music is homegrown from the garden of New Orleans. Music is everything to me short of breathing. Music also has a role to lift you up – not to be escapist but to take you out of misery.
Allen Toussaint
The choking humidity makes amphibians of us all, in Bom

The choking humidity makes amphibians of us all, in Bombay, breathing water in air; you learn to live with it, and you learn to like it, or you leave.
Gregory David Roberts
I’m happy just to be breathing. I’m joyful for life, my kids running around and waking me up every day. I got a lot to be thankful for.
Rodney Hood
A spirit, breathing the language of independence, is natural to Englishmen, few of whom are disposed to brook compulsion, or submit to the dictates of others, when not softened by reason, or tempered with kindness.
Joseph Lancaster
Too many people I’ve loved dearly have left this earth. And some I’ve lost are still here breathing the same air. That grief can be comparable if not worse in its consumption.
Aunjanue Ellis
I play the didgeridoo using circular breathing.
Jesse Spencer
When you’re singing, you’re using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can’t do that if you’re a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I’d tell them to sing more. It’s good therapy, too.
Willie Nelson
St. Benedict said to take care of your mind, body and soul. I swim for an hour every morning, do 15 minutes of Tibetan stretching and breathing exercises, and play soccer with friends four or more nights a week.
Brunello Cucinelli
Every day I try to do breathing exercises, meditation, and yoga. These things sound awfully cliche, but they help me slow down and try to point to a truth.
David Duchovny
Just like any business is a living, breathing thing, an entrepreneur has to be able to adapt over time.
Robert Herjavec
Atlanta, in itself, is its own living, breathing thing.
Brian Tyree Henry
Comprehensive climate legislation must be passed so that we can ensure a world where this and future generations can experience the bliss of breathing clean crisp air, while fishing in the Adirondacks… and being able to eat the fish afterwards.
Gloria Reuben
In many patients, covid-19 causes a bilateral pneumonia affecting both lungs. Air sacs in the lungs become inflamed and filled with fluid, leading to breathing difficulties and low oxygen saturation. If the pneumonia becomes extremely severe, patients need to be intubated and put on a ventilator.
Leana S. Wen
I find the attempt to find things out, which scientists are possessed by, to be as human as breathing, or feeding, or sex. And so the science has to be in the novels as science and not just as metaphors.
A. S. Byatt
I still have a stammer that I can control by not opening a sentence with a hard consonant, or by concentrating for a moment, breathing softly down. Growing up, the ‘Our Father’ was lovely, made for me, the ‘Hail Mary’ was gorgeous, and ‘Glory Be to the Father’ was an absolute nightmare.
Colm Toibin
Gymming for me is as important as breathing or brushing my teeth.
Sonu Sood
When I first started singing – before ‘Treat Me Like Fire’ when I was working with a vocal coach – I realized that I wasn’t even breathing when I was singing.
Jillian Hervey
I wake up every day and I think, ‘I’m breathing! It’s a good day.’
Eve Ensler
I love yoga because not only is it a workout for your body, but also your breathing, which helps release a lot of stress. It really prepares you for the day.
Tia Mowry
America has to be not just an idea but a living, breathing thing.
will.i.am
When you take something that’s inert, and through motion, give it life, make it appear to be alive, living, breathing thinking and having emotions, that’s animation. But when you take something that’s live-action, and move a part of it, that’s a special effect.
John Lasseter
Handball, swimming, running, jumping, basketball, and boxing were as much a part of me as breathing.
Gene Tunney
Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace.
Thich Nhat Hanh
’13 Reasons Why’ includes LGBTQ people and people of color in stories without making it about that. They’re just living, breathing, human beings who happen to be different from the white, cis, straight norm.
Tommy Dorfman
Louisiana’s coast is disappearing at an alarming rate, but we cannot ignore the important role the offshore energy industry plays in breathing life into Louisiana’s economy.
John Bel Edwards
It’s a living, breathing thing, acting.
Frank Langella
Yoga may look peaceful and calming, but even Arnold Schwarzenegger would have trouble breathing after twenty ‘surya namaskars’ in a row.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
Thinking about what songs are coming next instead of just relaxing, breathing and playing from my heart. Sometimes it can get to be almost like the enemy.
Rick Allen
You need to know the characters as living, breathing people before you start the plot; otherwise, you’ll feel panic, anarchy and chaos.
Deborah Moggach
Soccer presented no challenge to me. Playing felt like breathing: I always had a magical connection to the ball. But it didn’t feel like an adventure. Music was more of a challenge and, in the end, felt more interesting.
Pete Wentz
On ‘Tough Enough’ you’re in a house with your competitors, living, eating and breathing with them. That’s really tough.
Laurel Van Ness
Because of my job, my hair gets played with a lot on set, so I try to give it little bit of breathing space when I’m not working.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw
Nothing I do is thought out or planned or premeditated.

Nothing I do is thought out or planned or premeditated. It’s just that I’m breathing and living! You just have to breathe and live.
Banks
At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck.
Alanis Morissette
To me, working out is literally like eating a meal or drinking water or breathing.
Hilary Swank
When I walk around my neighborhood, the grocery store, or the farmers market, I don’t see Democrats or Republicans, Progressives or Conservatives. I see my brothers and sisters – living, breathing human beings with diverse and complicated stories, views, and desires that can’t be packaged neatly in a box.
Tulsi Gabbard
I feel like Hollywood likes to use gay people to tell either really sad gay stories starring straight actors, or everything’s about a struggle. Everything’s about coming out. Nothing was about just living and breathing as a human being who happens to be gay.
Tommy Dorfman
I don’t understand why people take Beyonce so seriously. You don’t feel like there’s a living, breathing person. It’s not flesh and blood. It’s just flesh and flesh.
Robert Hilburn
If you took acting away from me, I’d stop breathing.
Ingrid Bergman
Get your product in front of actual, living, breathing strangers. Your college roommate’s approval does not mean there’s market demand.
