Famous quotes containing the words high and/or vacuum:

    “If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is high church.”
    —Tom Brokaw (b. 1940)

    “No, it wasn’t an accident, I didn’t say that. It was carefully planned, down to the tiniest mechanical and emotional detail. But it was a mistake. It was a beaut. In the end, somehow granted the time for examination, we shall find that our so-called civilization was gloriously destroyed by a handful of vacuum tubes and transistors. Probably faulty.”
    —John Paxton (1911–1985)
