Famous quotes containing the words fuel and/or engine:
“It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.”

“There is a small steam engine in his brain which not only sets the cerebral mass in motion, but keeps the owner in hot water.”
