Products Based On Refined Oil

In our current economy there is hardly a place where one will not find a product that is a result of oil. Direct (e.g. fuel) or indirect (e.g. medicine) created from crude oil.

Even though more and more scientists are speaking about the end of cheap oil, the amount of products that are based on this oil, is still increasing.

Famous quotes containing the words products, based, refined and/or oil:

    “Isn’t it odd that networks accept billions of dollars from advertisers to teach people to use products and then proclaim that children aren’t learning about violence from their steady diet of it on television!”
    —Toni Liebman (20th century)

    “I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “We are ashamed to seem evasive in the presence of a straightforward man, cowardly in the presence of a brave one, gross in the eyes of a refined one, and so on. We always imagine, and in imagining share, the judgments of the other mind.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness to the mechanism of friendship.”
    —Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
