Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or power:
“... when I awake in the middle of the night, since I knew not where I was, I did not even know at first who I was; I only had in the first simplicity the feeling of existing as it must quiver in an animal.... I spent one second above the centuries of civilization, and the confused glimpse of the gas lamps, then of the shirts with turned-down collars, recomposed, little by little, the original lines of my self.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
