Air Quality Standards

Famous quotes containing the words air, quality and/or standards:

    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The quality of this novel is the way the plot is treated and not the plot itself.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Measured by any standard known to science—by horse-power, calories, volts, mass in any shape,—the tension and vibration and volume and so-called progression of society were full a thousand times greater in 1900 than in 1800;Mthe force had doubled ten times over, and the speed, when measured by electrical standards as in telegraphy, approached infinity, and had annihilated both space and time. No law of material movement applied to it.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
