Famous quotes containing the words vacuum and/or sewers:
“If it were possible to have a life absolutely free from every feeling of sin, what a terrifying vacuum it would be!”

“I counted two and seventy stenches,
All well defined and several stinks!
Ye Nymphs that reign o’er sewers and sinks,
The river Rhine, it is well known,
Doth wash your city of Cologne;
But tell me, Nymphs! what power divine
Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine?”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
