Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or vacuum:
“The real drawback to “the simple life” is that it is not simple. If you are living it, you positively can do nothing else. There is not time.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“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)
