Famous quotes containing the words high, vacuum and/or systems:
“Gifts of one loved me,
T was high time they came;
When he ceased to love me,
Time they stopped for shame.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“No, it wasnt an accident, I didnt say that. It was carefully planned, down to the tiniest mechanical and emotional detail. But it was a mistake. It was a beaut. In the end, somehow granted the time for examination, we shall find that our so-called civilization was gloriously destroyed by a handful of vacuum tubes and transistors. Probably faulty.”
—John Paxton (19111985)
“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 Grays Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
