Fuel Failure

Famous quotes containing the words fuel and/or failure:

“I had an old axe which nobody claimed, with which by spells in winter days, on the sunny side of the house, I played about the stumps which I had got out of my bean-field. As my driver prophesied when I was plowing, they warmed me twice,—once while I was splitting them, and again when they were on the fire, so that no fuel could give out more heat. As for the axe,... if it was dull, it was at least hung true.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Everything ultimately fails, for we die, and that is either the penultimate failure or our most enigmatical achievement.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
