Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or content:
“Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,

By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light”

“Science asks no questions about the ontological pedigree or a priori character of a theory, but is content to judge it by its performance; and it is thus that a knowledge of nature, having all the certainty which the senses are competent to inspire, has been attaineda knowledge which maintains a strict neutrality toward all philosophical systems and concerns itself not with the genesis or a priori grounds of ideas.”
