Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or vacuum:
“Cannot a plain man live and think no harm,
But that his simple truth must be abused
With silken, sly, insinuating Jacks?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“No, it wasn’t an accident, I didn’t 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 (1911–1985)
