Famous quotes containing the words gas, air and/or mixture:

Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I endeavor not to conceal that I believe there is a great mixture of desire in the passion which is called love—or rather, without any far-fetched strain on words, it may be called the companion of love.”
