Gas House

Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or house:

    When we can drain the Ocean into mill-ponds, and bottle up the Force of Gravity, to be sold by retail, in gas jars; then may we hope to comprehend the infinitudes of man’s soul under formulas of Profit and Loss; and rule over this too, as over a patent engine, by checks, and valves, and balances.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    You take my house when you do take the prop
    That doth sustain my house; you take my life
    When you do take the means whereby I live.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
