Main Reservoir Pipe

Famous quotes containing the words main, reservoir and/or pipe:

    Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock as not going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watch’s greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    It’s very expressive of myself. I just lump everything in a great heap which I have labeled “the past,” and, having thus emptied this deep reservoir that was once myself, I am ready to continue.
    Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)

    Blest are those
    Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
    That they are not a pipe for Fortune’s finger
    To sound what stop she please.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
