Vacuum Tubes

Famous quotes containing the words vacuum tubes and/or vacuum:

    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)

    If it were possible to have a life absolutely free from every feeling of sin, what a terrifying vacuum it would be!
    Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)
