Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or gas:
“An Englishman’s never so natural as when he’s holding his tongue.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“When we can drain the Ocean into mill-ponds, and bottle up the Force of Gravity, to be sold by retail, in gas jars; then may we hope to comprehend the infinitudes of man’s soul under formulas of Profit and Loss; and rule over this too, as over a patent engine, by checks, and valves, and balances.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
