Famous quotes containing the words pressure, sodium and/or lamps:

    The mother whose self-image is dependent on her children places on those children the responsibility for her own identity, and her involvement in the details of their lives can put great pressure on the children.

    Grace Baruch (20th century)

    Every reader of the Dreiser novels must cherish astounding specimens—of awkward, platitudinous marginalia, of whole scenes spoiled by bad writing, of phrases as brackish as so many lumps of sodium hyposulphite.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.
    Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey Of Falloden (1862–1933)
