Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or van:

    one pale woman all alone,
    The daylight kissing her wan hair,
    Loitered beneath the gas lamps’ flare,
    With lips of flame and heart of stone.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    I know that Europe’s wonderful, yet something seems to lack;
    The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.
    —Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
