Dry Firing

Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or firing:

    We are things of dry hours and the involuntary plan,
    Grayed in, and gray. “Dream” makes a giddy sound, not strong
    Like “rent,” “feeding a wife,” “satisfying a man.”
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    The sight of a planet through a telescope is worth all the course on astronomy; the shock of the electric spark in the elbow, outvalues all the theories; the taste of the nitrous oxide, the firing of an artificial volcano, are better than volumes of chemistry.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
