High Vacuum Systems

Famous quotes containing the words high, vacuum and/or systems:

    A lunatic may be “soothed,”... for a time, but in the end, he is very apt to become obstreperous. His cunning, too, is proverbial, and great.... When a madman appears thoroughly sane, indeed, it is high time to put him in a straight jacket.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    If it were possible to have a life absolutely free from every feeling of sin, what a terrifying vacuum it would be!
    Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)

    The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.
    —J.G. (James Graham)
